Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left leg pain as there was no evidence of a current disability that affected earning capacity.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's claimed leg pain rose to a level affecting functional impairment or earning capacity, and VA does not have a duty to provide an examination when there is no evidence establishing competent evidence of a diagnosed disability or symptoms of disability.
