Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left ankle condition and 'sagged arches' as the evidence did not support that these conditions began during active service or are related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
