The Board granted service connection for chronic skin rosacea, chronic foot/toenail fungus, left and right ankle disabilities, bilateral plantar fasciitis, and left and right upper and lower extremity peripheral neuropathy. Service connection was denied for chronic bronchitis and restless leg syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic skin conditions and bilateral ankle and plantar fasciitis were found to be related to his service-connected disabilities, while the chronic bronchitis and restless leg syndrome were not shown to have a direct relationship with his military service.
