Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for plantar fasciitis and a lumbosacral strain as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral knee strains, but remanded the claim for idiopathic urticaria.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise regarding the etiology of the Veteran's plantar fasciitis and lumbosacral strain, so the Board granted service connection after affording the Veteran the benefit of the doubt. The urticaria claim required further development before a decision could be made.
