Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, a left ankle condition, a right ankle condition, a left hip condition, a right hip condition, a left knee condition, and a right knee condition as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence indicated that the Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis, ankle, hip, and knee conditions are not etiologically related to his service due to lack of in-service symptoms, current diagnoses, or credible continuity of symptomatology.
