Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right ankle disability and a low back disability, finding that the evidence did not support a link between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was probative as it was based on a file review and examination of the Veteran and provided clear conclusions with supporting evidence. There were no other medical opinions of record pertaining to this matter on appeal.
