Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected RIGHT foot plantar fasciitis, effective September 1, 2023, and denied service connection for a RIGHT knee condition based on in-service aggravation of a preexisting condition.
The deciding factor: The reduction in the disability rating from 30 percent to 10 percent was not proper as it did not reflect an improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work when considering the impact of his right foot symptomatology.
