Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, finding that the evidence is in at least approximate balance as to whether the condition was incurred in or caused by an injury during active service.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA medical opinion provided a thorough supporting rationale and was afforded higher probative value than the March 2024 VA medical opinion, leading to the grant of service connection on a direct basis.
