The Board granted earlier effective dates for service connection of left hallux valgus and increased ratings for right pes planus with plantar fasciitis, while denying increased ratings for left hallux valgus and PTSD. Sarcoidosis, a kidney disability secondary to sarcoidosis, and irritable bowel syndrome were also granted.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the earliest date of entitlement available to the Veteran and the severity of her disabilities as supported by medical evidence.
