The Board denied service connection for plantar fasciitis, a headache disorder, and a scar status post circumcision as there was no competent evidence to support the claims. The Board also denied a higher rating for the Veteran's back disability.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence weighed against a finding that the Veteran had been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, a headache disorder, or a scar status post circumcision in service or at any time during the pendency of the claims. Additionally, there was no evidence to support a higher rating for the back disability.
