The Board has granted the submission of new and relevant evidence for service connection of a bilateral foot condition (pes planus), which was previously denied due to lack of such evidence.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence, including VA treatment records and a May 2021 VA examination, was submitted after the July 2011 rating decision denying service connection for a bilateral foot condition. This new evidence is considered relevant as it tends to prove or disprove the existence of an additional current bilateral foot pes planus disability.
