Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis to schedule a VA examination and obtain an opinion on its etiology.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as no VA examination was conducted prior to the December 2024 rating decision.
