Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error before reaching the claim's merits.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions on file do not properly consider the Veteran's in-service notations of foot injuries, and the examination report indicates the VA clinician did not ask the Veteran about the history or onset of his foot pain.
