The Board has denied service connection for residuals of a left leg injury but remanded the claim for residuals of a right leg injury. The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran was diagnosed with residuals of a left leg injury related to service.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not indicate the presence of any residuals of a left leg injury during the period on appeal and is persuasive against a finding that the Veteran had such a disability related to service.
