Denied
The Board denied service connection for a leg length discrepancy claimed as left leg longer than right leg and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for a back disability, to include lumbosacral strain and lumbago with right-sided sciatica.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran's leg length discrepancy or back pain began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
