Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinea pedis, right and left foot, finding the conditions were causally related to the Veteran's active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's consistent reports of onset during service and self-treatment since then, coupled with the combat presumption due to his Combat Action Ribbon, supported the grant of service connection.
