Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for right foot plantar fasciitis and hallux valgus, as well as earlier effective dates for the grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes, and the Veteran's symptoms fit appropriately with the criteria found in those codes.
