Is Your Heel Pain Actually From Your Back?

Are you a veteran dealing with heel pain and plantar fasciitis? What if that foot pain isn't actually starting in your feet? In this Veterans Log investigation, we uncover the hidden connection between service-connected knee, hip, and back problems and plantar fasciitis – and how you might be missing out on significant VA disability compensation.
🔍 What You'll Learn:
How knee, hip, and back injuries create a biomechanical chain reaction affecting your feet
The shocking medical research connecting these conditions (including a study showing 62% of knee OA patients develop plantar fasciitis)
Real VA Board of Veterans' Appeals cases that established secondary service connection
Exactly what you need to prove your secondary claim (diagnosis, nexus letter, and evidence)
Step-by-step action plan to file your secondary service connection claim
How this could significantly increase your VA disability rating
💰 The Bottom Line: A successful secondary claim for bilateral plantar fasciitis (30%) combined with an existing knee injury (30%) could push your combined rating to 50% or higher – that's the difference between $563 and $1,361+ per month.
