Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for acquired bilateral pes planus with right foot posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and restored service connection for status post right and left total knee replacements, effective May 1, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's conditions were related to his active duty service, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
