Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis as the evidence did not support a direct or secondary connection to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The examiner opined that the Veteran's plantar fasciitis was less likely than not related to his service and more likely due to his pre-existing pes planus condition, which is considered asymptomatic upon entry into service.
