Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left foot disability, right foot disability, left ankle disability, and right ankle disability based on the evidence showing that these disabilities are related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the favorable findings of current bilateral foot and ankle disabilities and in-service onset or incurrence of bilateral foot injuries, with a medical opinion resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
