The Board denied service connection for bilateral calluses of the feet, a left foot injury, and a right foot injury due to the lack of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence showing current disabilities or injuries related to the claimed conditions, and the new evidence did not tend to prove or disprove the matter at issue.
