Granted
The Board granted service connection for right foot plantar fasciitis, left foot plantar fasciitis, and right flat foot (pes planus) based on their onset during the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's credible lay statements regarding the onset and ongoing nature of his symptoms to be at least as probative as negative medical opinions.
