Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for bilateral plantar fasciitis and an effective date prior to September 24, 2020 for service connection for the condition. However, it granted a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) beginning on that same date.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing the Veteran's service-connected disabilities met the schedular criteria for TDIU and had precluded him from securing and following substantially gainful employment since September 24, 2020.
