The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome associated with bilateral pes planus with plantar fasciitis, finding no new and relevant evidence after the June 2015 denial.
The deciding factor: No new medical opinions were submitted to challenge the VA examiner's opinion that the Veteran's knee condition was less likely caused by or due to her service-connected bilateral pes planus.
