Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee strain with patellofemoral pain syndrome and plantar fasciitis (bilateral feet pain) based on the evidence showing that these conditions had their onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's competent and credible lay testimony, along with medical evidence, established a nexus between his current disabilities and his in-service experiences.
