Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral leg cramps, diagnosed as bilateral intermittent chronic calf spasms (leg cramps), finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the in-service leg cramps and the current disability.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence of record negates any causal relationship or link between the leg cramps reported in 1976 and the current disability diagnosed in July 2023, as there are no reports of complaints or symptoms of leg cramps or spasms for forty-five years.
