Denied
The Board denied service connection for plantar fasciitis and anxiety, and remanded claims for service connection for GERD, cervical spine disability, and lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence of a diagnosis or in-service incurrence of the claimed conditions, and the Veteran is not competent to provide medical opinions on etiology.
