Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral foot disability and bilateral leg nerve damage, to include as secondary to a lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's current disabilities were incurred in or caused by his active military service. There was no diagnosis of bilateral leg nerve damage, and the Veteran's foot conditions were less likely than not related to his time in service.
