Denied
The Board denied service connection for a back condition, left and right radiculopathy lower extremities (claimed as bilateral radiculopathy lower), and a bilateral foot condition (plantar fasciitis) due to the lack of evidence supporting these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of any of the claimed conditions during or related to service, and there was no current diagnosis of a back condition, left and right radiculopathy lower extremities, or bilateral foot condition (plantar fasciitis).
