Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral feet and cold weather injury joint aches, finding no evidence that these conditions were related to military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's Service Treatment Records (STRs) and post-service medical records did not show any instances of foot pain or foot conditions during service, and the VA medical examiner opined that the conditions were not related to service.
