The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim for service connection for left foot pes planus with corns and calluses. The issues of entitlement to service connection for right ankle disorder, right knee/leg disorder, right foot disorder (other than tendonitis), and chest pain have been remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim based on new evidence submitted since the final denial in December 2008. The issues of entitlement to service connection for other conditions remain pending.
