The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected bilateral pes planus is productive of severe disability, warranting a 30 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows symptomatology more nearly approximating 'severe' bilateral pes planus, including hallux valgus deformity and characteristic callosities on both feet.
