Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a bilateral foot disorder, diagnosed as bilateral pes planus with plantar fasciitis. The left ankle disorder claim was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing onset of symptoms during active service and continuity of those symptoms since discharge, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
