The Board denied service connection for a right lower extremity disability and remanded the claim for a left ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's right lower extremity disorder had its onset during active service or was related to an in-service injury, event, or disease. For the left ankle, while there is a current disability, further verification of the Veteran's Reserve service and associated records is needed.
