Flat foot, shin splints, plantar fasciitis

[..tiredmarine0331]

Hi everyone, I already submitted an "intent to file" on e benefits with all the disabilities that I did not claim in the past, these include: flat foot, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. I get really bad shin splints just by walking around, I started noticing this during battalion hikes when I was in the marines. I get pain at the bottom of my feet most of the time because I do not have the arched area at all. There is a part in both my shins where I can see some tissue popping out (under the skin) when I move my feet around.

My question is: Should I claim flat foot as a primary disability and shin splints, plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel section) as secondary to flat foot? Would this help me to get a greater rating?

Any inputs welcomed,

My husband applied for each of them, although it's The Foot, pes planus has a few nexus claims. Waiting for envelope to tell us if he was approved.

Yes.

Flat foot condition is known to have a causal relationship to plantar fasciitis, shin splints, tendonitis,and posterior tibial syndrome.
