Granted
The Board granted service connection for a neck disorder, diagnosed as arthritis of the cervical spine, and a left leg disorder, diagnosed as arthritis of the left ankle.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the Veteran's reports of in-service combat-related injuries and the onset of symptoms during and since service, which are consistent with the current diagnoses of arthritis of the cervical spine and left ankle.
