Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of pes planus is remanded because the VA needs to provide a more adequate medical opinion on whether it is related to the veteran's service-connected hypertension and osteoarthritis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examiner suggested a possible relation but did not provide an adequate opinion on secondary service connection.
