Hi vets. Quick question about my foot pain / VA disability claim..

I was diagnosed by my podiatrist at Kaiser Permanente a couple months ago with chronic bilateral foot neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, and flat feet.

I was also diagnosed with flat feet by the VA back in 2010 but never knew I could file a claim.

I got out the Army a long time ago in 2004. Combat Engineer. I've had bad feet and have been buying orthopedic inserts for over 17 years.

Last year I filed my first VA disability claim and was granted 50% for ptsd with alcohol use disorder.

I'm not overweight. Just 160lbs but have jacked up feet.

Can I win a foot claim after being out so long, and claim it Secondary to alcohol use disorder because of it being bilateral foot neuropathy?
