Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 10 percent rating for bilateral metatarsalgia and denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral plantar fasciitis, both effective May 31, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the separate diagnosis of metatarsalgia and its relation to service, while there was no evidence showing relief from non-surgical or surgical treatment for plantar fasciitis.
