Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral plantar fasciitis, finding the evidence is at least in approximate balance that it was caused by or related to active duty. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder including PTSD, adjustment disorder with anxiety, and insomnia was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided strong probative value as it detailed the Veteran's service-related injuries and their relation to his current condition of bilateral plantar fasciitis.
