The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial compensable evaluation of verruca of the feet and service connection for plantar fasciitis, finding no evidence supporting a higher rating or a secondary relationship to his service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the General Rating Formula for the Skin and there was no evidence of a causal relationship between the plantar fasciitis and the verruca of the feet.
