Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension as secondary to obstructive sleep apnea and denied service connection for plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypertension was found to be causally related to his service-connected OSA, while the evidence did not establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis and his active duty military service.
