Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, foot disability (bilateral plantar fasciitis), and back disability (claimed as pain of lumbar spine, to include as secondary to bilateral plantar fasciitis) due to a lack of evidence supporting the claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran's claimed conditions had their onset during active service or were otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
