The Veteran's claim for service connection for nervousness and hand tremors was denied as the condition is related to a non-service-connected condition (Klinefelter syndrome). The Veteran's bilateral flat feet were granted a 10 percent rating prior to December 19, 2014, but denied any higher ratings thereafter. Separate 10 percent ratings for status post left and right foot bunionectomy were also denied.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claim of service connection for nervousness and hand tremors as it was related to a non-service-connected condition (Klinefelter syndrome). The criteria for higher ratings for bilateral flat feet prior to December 19, 2014, and in excess of 30 percent thereafter were not met. Separate 10 percent ratings for status post left and right foot bunionectomy were also denied.
