Denied
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory condition, left ankle condition, and left foot plantar fasciitis as the evidence did not support current disabilities or a nexus to service. The claims for migraines headaches and allergic rhinitis were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided negative nexus opinions finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions were less likely than not incurred in or caused by service, with no evidence of chronic residuals from acute injuries or symptoms in service.
