Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, but remanded claims for service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, bilateral pes planus, hallux valgus, left knee disability, right knee disability, and back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a medical nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service or any service-connected condition.
