The Board denied the claim for restoration of service connection for chronic plantar fasciitis effective February 1, 2019, based on a finding that there was no clear and unmistakable error in the November 6, 2018, rating decision which severed service connection.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ properly severed service connection for chronic plantar fasciitis effective February 1, 2019, because this disability began during a dishonorable period of active service and is not subject to service-connected compensation under VA law.
