Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right foot disability, diagnosed as degenerative arthritis, fibrocartilaginous calcaneonavicular with lateral cuneiform cuboid coalition, other unspecified right ankle disorder, and status post right foot fracture.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's diagnosed conditions are related to service. The Veteran's credible statements of continuity of symptoms may substitute for a positive nexus opinion.
