The Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis with metatarsalgia is granted a rating of more than 10 percent, and the claims for initial ratings for left hip conditions are remanded.

The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding that the Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis without relief from non-surgical treatment warrants a higher rating. The left hip conditions require further development before a decision can be made.
