Denied
The Board denied service connection for right ankle, left ankle, back disability, and other conditions as there is no evidence of a current disability related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record reflects that the Veteran does not have a bilateral ankle disability or a back disability due to his military service.
