Granted
The Board granted service connection for left foot plantar fasciitis, finding that it was secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right ankle sprain with instability.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion from Dr. Timothy L. Gardner, DPM, PC, provided a persuasive and probative explanation linking the Veteran's left foot plantar fasciitis to his service-connected right ankle disability.
