Denied
The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including a low back condition and left foot disability, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred during or related to active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions are etiologically related to the Veteran's active duty service. The Board considered all relevant factors and found no persuasive evidence linking the Veteran’s current conditions to his time in service.
