Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral ankle vein insufficiency condition, a bilateral calf vein insufficiency condition, and a back condition as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to active service or a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively established that the Veteran does not have a bilateral calf or ankle vein insufficiency condition. The Board found no credible evidence linking any of the claimed conditions to his period of service or a service-connected disability.
