Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, left elbow condition, and low back condition but denied service connection for TMJ dysfunction. The claims for left knee strain and right knee strain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in at least approximate balance to establish a nexus between the current conditions and the Veteran's active military service, except for TMJ dysfunction where there was no current diagnosis.
