The Board granted service connection for a left ankle disability and denied increased ratings for subacromial bursitis, tendonitis of the right shoulder and reactive airway disease with exertional asthma.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting a nexus between the current diagnoses and in-service injuries or illnesses, as well as the limitations in range of motion that did not meet criteria for higher ratings under applicable regulations.
