Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left ankle disorder, diagnosed as left ankle lateral collateral ligament sprain, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reports of continuous symptoms since service and objective findings of laxity established a nexus between active service and his current left ankle disorder.
