Partly granted
The Board readjudicated the claim for service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis based on new and relevant evidence, while denying service connection for bilateral pes planus. Other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The pre-existing bilateral pes planus was not aggravated by active military service due to a lack of evidence showing an increase in severity beyond natural progression.
