Denied
The Board denied service connection for left ankle disability as there is no current diagnosis and the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the claimed condition and active service.
The deciding factor: The May 2022 VA examination report was found to be probative, indicating that the Veteran did not have a current left ankle disability and provided an explanation for this finding based on a thorough physical evaluation of the Veteran.
