Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral pes planus because the evidence showed it was not related to service and did not manifest within one year of separation.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's bilateral pes planus was less likely than not proximately due to or the result of the Veteran's service-connected conditions.
