The Board granted service connection for left foot tarsal tunnel syndrome with left posterior tibial nerve, mild and denied service connection for a right foot condition including as secondary to the left foot condition and sleep disturbances.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current left foot condition was found to have initially manifested during service, while there is no evidence of a current disability manifesting as sleep disturbances or a right foot condition related to his service-connected left foot condition.

- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability other than PTSD, as her sleep disturbances and depression were found to be symptoms of her already service-connected PTSD.
- Dismissed
The veteran's appeal requests were not timely filed, and good cause was not shown to accept the late filings.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various conditions due to an error in verifying the Veteran's active service and obtaining his complete service personnel records and treatment records.
