Denied
The Board denied service connection for the amputation of the right leg and special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance due to a lack of evidence linking these conditions to active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, supported by medical records, found no relation between the Veteran's right leg amputation and his active service. The Board also found that there was no evidence showing the Veteran needed regular aid and attendance as a result of his service-connected disabilities.
