Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral ankle condition, sciatica and left lower extremity radiculopathy, and right achilles tendonitis. The Board found no current diagnosis of a bilateral ankle condition and no nexus between the veteran's service-connected conditions and the claimed disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence persuasively weighs against entitlement to service connection for all three conditions due to lack of a current diagnosis or medical nexus.
