Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, left and right ankle conditions, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to insufficient evidence of a nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence demonstrating a nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his active service, and he does not have current diagnoses for these conditions.
