Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis and menopause, granted an increased disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD from April 29, 2023, and remanded claims for service connection for a right knee disability, left wrist carpal tunnel, and bilateral flat feet.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's conditions were related to her active service or otherwise incurred therein. The severity of PTSD symptoms warranted an increased rating but not at 100 percent.
