The Board granted service connection for plantar fasciitis and remanded the claim for a respiratory condition due to insufficient medical evidence.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on an increase in severity of a pre-existing condition during service, as there is no clear and unmistakable evidence that the increase was due to natural progression. The Board found the Veteran's symptoms were sufficient to constitute a disability for the respiratory claim.
