Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for right ankle strain, finding that there was evidence of an in-service injury and ongoing pain since service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's in-service right ankle injury and his current right ankle pain based on the Veteran's lay statements and the presence of pain noted in VA examinations.
