Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right ankle condition, left ankle condition, and right hip strain based on the Veteran's in-service fall injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether there is a nexus between the Veteran's fall injury during service and his current right ankle condition, left ankle condition, and right hip strain. Therefore, the nexus element of service connection is met.
