Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, finding that there was no evidence of a current disability in service or within one year of separation and noting an absence of treatment during service and a 16-year gap between service and diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's plantar fasciitis was less likely than not incurred in or caused by service, based on the lack of evidence of a condition in service, the 16-year gap between service and diagnosis, and an opinion from a VA examiner.
