Granted
The Board granted separate disability ratings of 30 percent for the Veteran's right and left foot stress fractures with plantar fasciitis, effective from August 22, 2017, through February 7, 2021.
The deciding factor: The severity of the combined impact of the Veteran's stress fractures and plantar fasciitis in both feet warranted a 30 percent disability rating prior to February 7, 2021, based on pain, swelling, limitation of mobility, calluses, and accentuated pain on use and manipulation.
