Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral posterior tibial tendon (PT) tendonitis, bilateral peroneal tendonitis, and left ankle sprain as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right ankle disability. The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral pes planus with bilateral plantar fasciitis and bilateral hallux valgus.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's claimed conditions were aggravated by his service-connected disabilities, warranting service connection on a secondary basis.
