The Board granted service connection for a right ankle condition, finding the evidence to be in approximate balance that it was related to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is in approximate balance that the Veteran had a right ankle condition that was related to his service. The June 2025 addendum opinion and March 2022 addendum opinion were found inadequate, while the July 2013 private opinion by Dr. P.Y. was considered moderate probative value.
