Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left foot disability, to include degenerative changes and tendinopathy, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right transmetatarsal amputation.
The deciding factor: The private podiatrist opined that the Veteran developed additional disabilities of the left foot due to his service-connected right foot disability, leading to a finding in favor of service connection for the left foot condition.
