Granted
The Board granted service connection for plantar fasciitis of the right foot, finding that the evidence is at least in relative equipoise regarding whether it is causally related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner attributed the Veteran's plantar fasciitis to 'wearing tight military shoes' while standing and walking for long periods of time during his service, implicitly establishing a nexus between the current disability and in-service injury.
