Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for plantar fasciitis and a left ankle disorder due to insufficient evidence regarding periods of active duty, ADT, and IDT.
The deciding factor: The lack of clarity regarding the Veteran's periods of ADT/IDT service constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error which must be corrected before decisions may be rendered on the claims.
