Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right ankle disability, claimed as ankle pain, and left and right hand and finger disabilities because there was no evidence of current disabilities or a nexus to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a current disability in any of the areas claimed, nor was there probative evidence linking his symptoms to his active service.
