Denied
The Board denied service connection for cervical spine disability, lumbar spine disability, and left foot disability as there was no evidence of a current disability or an in-service injury, event, or disease related to these conditions.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support a finding that the appellant's lumbar spine and left foot disabilities were etiologically related to his military service. There was no evidence of continuity of symptoms since discharge from service, and no medical nexus statement addressing these contentions.
