The Board granted service connection for an eye disability, a left foot disability, and a right foot disability based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively showed that the Veteran's bilateral foot disabilities were related to her wearing flight boots during Reserves service, and that she had a chronic eye disability diagnosed during active duty for training (ACDUTRA) which has progressively worsened into a current eye disability.
