Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's right and left foot tarsal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and metatarsalgia. The decision was based on the evidence showing that the veteran's current foot pain is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that the evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's current right and left tarsal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and metatarsalgia are related to service.
