The Board granted service connection for a cervical spine disability, left knee disability, and right knee disability. The claims for bilateral pes planus, bilateral plantar fasciitis, lumbar spine pain, and bilateral hearing loss were denied. The claim for other specified trauma-and stressor-related disorder was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed in favor of a finding that the Veteran's cervical spine disability, left knee disability, and right knee disability were caused by or incurred in service, while the evidence persuaded against a finding for bilateral pes planus, bilateral plantar fasciitis, lumbar spine pain, and bilateral hearing loss.
