Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a disability rating higher than 10% for right foot plantar fasciitis because the evidence did not show that both non-surgical and surgical treatments failed to relieve symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not meet the criteria for a 20 percent disability rating which requires no relief from both non-surgical and surgical treatment unilaterally.
