Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right foot plantar fasciitis, finding a nexus between the condition and the Veteran's in-service symptoms. The appeal of tinnitus was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 medical opinion provided probative evidence supporting the direct service connection theory for the right foot disability, while the April 2023 opinion did not adequately address the Veteran's lay reports regarding tinnitus onset during service.
