Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral feet condition, to include plantar fasciitis and hallux valgus, as the evidence did not support that the Veteran's current disability was related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical examiner found that the Veteran's current hallux valgus was less likely than not incurred in or caused by an in-service injury, event, or illness.
