Denied
The Board denied service connection for insomnia disorder, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and plantar fasciitis as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The August 2020 VA examiner opined that the Veteran did not have a current mental disorder diagnosis that met the DSM criteria. The in-service and post-service treatment records were silent regarding any foot disability, and there was no evidence of a current diagnosis in the record.
