Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's right ankle disability, finding that the evidence does not show the condition is related to military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, which was based on a review of medical records and a physical examination, found that the Veteran's condition is less likely than not due to in-service events.
