Granted
The Board granted service connection for left leg residuals of a left tibia fracture with surgical repair and laceration from open compound fracture, finding that the Veteran's current disability is related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found competent and credible evidence supporting the Veteran's reports of an in-service motorcycle accident resulting in a left leg injury and subsequent surgery, as well as continuous symptoms since service.
