Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for bilateral plantar fasciitis with foot disorder and dismissed the claim of CUE in the April 2009 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show marked pronation, extreme tenderness of the plantar surfaces of the feet, or marked inward displacement and severe spasm of the tendo Achillis on manipulation as required for a higher rating under DC 5276.
