Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a bilateral foot disability, to include gout, as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or disease and no chronicity of symptomatology.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a finding of an in-service injury or disease, nor did it establish chronicity of symptoms following service. The Veteran's current condition was not shown to be related to his military service based on the available evidence.
