The Board has determined that the veteran's claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral pes planus is denied, and his claim for service connection for plantar fasciitis is also denied.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence showing current plantar fasciitis or any other condition related to service. The veteran's pes planus has been evaluated as moderate since separation from service.
