Granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for right foot plantar fasciitis, left foot metatarsalgia, and left foot plantar fasciitis as secondary to service-connected bilateral ankle disabilities, and for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities were granted.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that her bilateral foot disabilities are related to her service-connected bilateral ankle disabilities and that her service-connected disabilities prevented her from securing or following substantially gainful employment.
