The Board denied service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, left foot bone spur, left and right upper extremity radiculopathy, and right ankle lateral collateral ligament sprain as the evidence did not support a finding of an in-service incurrence or a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical evidence did not establish an in-service incurrence or a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service, as there was no documentation of such conditions during service and the current disabilities were less likely than not related to the Veteran's service.
