Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error regarding the initial rating assigned for plantar fasciitis with pes planus.
The deciding factor: VA failed to fulfill its duty to assist prior to the issuance of the July 2023 rating decision, as it did not obtain additional relevant private treatment records despite the Veteran's May 2023 statement that such records were available.
