Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for dry eye syndrome and remanded the claim for a foot disability to include plantar fasciitis, ankle pain and calf pain.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's dry eye syndrome is related to active duty, so reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran. For the foot disability, additional development is necessary for proper adjudication.
