Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an effective date prior to June 15, 2022, for a 50 percent rating for bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: There was no intent to file form received by VA in the year prior to the June 15, 2022 claim and there was no factually ascertainable increase in disability during that period.
