Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for left bicipital tendonitis and fibromyalgia, but restored a 50 percent rating for bilateral plantar fasciitis with pes planus, heel spurs, and right foot arthritis effective June 1, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran withdrew the appeals for service connection for left bicipital tendonitis and fibromyalgia. For the restoration of the 50 percent rating, there was no actual improvement in the disability that impacted the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
