The Board granted service connection for restless leg syndrome of both legs and earlier effective dates for the grant of service connection for plantar fasciitis with hallux valgus of both feet, as well as an increased rating for bilateral plantar fasciitis with hallux valgus.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran regarding the onset of her restless leg syndrome and the date entitlement arose for her plantar fasciitis with hallux valgus, leading to an earlier effective date for DEA benefits.
