Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, finding that there is enough evidence to support this claim despite some conflicting opinions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a positive medical nexus opinion from A.J., PA-C, which linked the Veteran's plantar fasciitis to her altered gait due to her service-connected right knee condition.
