Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis and also denied a higher initial rating.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that March 5, 2022, is the earliest date for which service connection can be awarded given the Veteran's Intent to File received in March 2022 and subsequent claims submitted in April 2022.
