Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right foot peripheral neuropathy, both directly related to in-service cold injuries sustained during the Veteran's service in Korea.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether the Veteran had cold injuries affecting his feet during service, with ongoing foot symptoms thereafter. The VA podiatrist attributed the Veteran's neuropathies to his in-service cold injuries.
