Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left ankle injury and residuals, right knee strain (claimed as right knee injury and residuals), and herniated discs (claimed as low back injury and residuals) due to the lack of evidence supporting a current disability or a link to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current left ankle disability, right knee strain, or herniated discs related to his military service or secondary to a service-connected condition.
