Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for back and lower extremity joint pain as secondary to his service-connected bilateral pes planus, did not reopen a previously denied claim of entitlement to service connection for a right arm disorder, and denied his claim for an increased rating for bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support the veteran's claims for service connection or an increased rating.
