The Board denied service connection for plantar fasciitis and remanded the claim for further development regarding obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's plantar fasciitis is related to his active service. The Board also found that a remand was necessary to obtain an addendum medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea, as the previous VA examiner did not provide a reasoned opinion on this issue.
