The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for bilateral plantar fasciitis and remanded the claims for service connection for various disabilities.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis did not result in both non-surgical and surgical treatment with no relief, thus a higher rating was not warranted. The pathophysiology of the other claimed conditions needs further clarification.
