The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral plantar fasciitis with sesamoiditis and remanded claims for service connection for a brain tumor, vision disorder secondary to the brain tumor.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that there was no relief from both non-surgical and surgical treatment for the Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis with sesamoiditis. The Board also found that separate or higher ratings were not warranted under other diagnostic codes.
