Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis to ensure a new VA opinion is obtained that adequately addresses whether the condition is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected pes planus disability.
The deciding factor: The September 2025 VA examination was found inadequate as it did not address all required elements of the July 2025 Board remand directives.
