Partly granted
The Veteran's bilateral foot disabilities, to include pes planus with plantar fasciitis, are granted. The claims for service connection for sciatica/radicular pain in the right and left legs were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service stress and strain and his current bilateral foot disabilities but not for the claimed sciatica/radicular pain in either leg.
