The Board granted service connection for a cervical strain and left foot plantar fasciitis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in relative equipoise on the question of whether the current conditions had their onset during active service or are otherwise etiologically related to service. Resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the Board finds that both conditions are etiologically related to service.
