Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, left foot plantar fasciitis with bilateral pes planus, and right ankle chronic instability but denied service connection for a left groin strain.
The deciding factor: The record evidence supports an etiological link between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active service or service-connected conditions, resolving any reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
