The Board denied service connection for bilateral flatfoot, left ankle disability, left knee disability, left shoulder disability, and migraines. A 20 percent rating was granted for the status post fracture of the 4th metatarsal.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability related to her claimed conditions during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, except for the 4th metatarsal which showed moderately severe impairment.
