Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for headaches was dismissed, while the claims for service connection for left and right foot disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The claim of service connection for headaches could not be opted into the modernized appeals system due to its issuance date predating the effective date of the system. The claims for foot disabilities require further evidence through a VA examination.
