Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right foot plantar fasciitis, finding that the evidence established a relationship to active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the treating physician's opinions more probative due to their robust rationale and citation of medical literature, outweighing the negative VA examiner opinion.
