Granted
The Board granted service connection for left foot fungal conditions to include dermatophytosis, onychomycosis and tinea pedis based on the evidence showing a current disability, in-service incurrence of the condition, and continuous symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran by finding that her currently diagnosed left foot fungal conditions began during active service, as evidenced by competent lay testimony and medical literature supporting reoccurring instances of the condition since service.
