The Board has granted service connection for left foot plantar fasciitis and dyspepsia with gastroesophageal reflux disease, finding that the veteran's symptoms were present in service and have continued since then.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows continuity of symptomatology from service to the present, including multiple documented instances of gastrointestinal complaints during active duty.
