Granted
The Board granted restoration of the 50 percent rating for bilateral plantar fasciitis, effective May 1, 2020, due to improper procedural notification during the reduction process.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of proper notification and opportunity for the Veteran to submit additional evidence or request a predetermination hearing prior to the reduction in rating.
