Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability and remanded the claim for a right foot disability, to include plantar fasciitis, hallux valgus, and pes planus.
The deciding factor: The grant of service connection for the Veteran's left knee disability was based on direct service connection, as determined by the AOJ in a June 2025 rating decision. The right foot claim was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination that did not address aggravation.
