Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral foot disability, to include pes planus, as the evidence did not show that the condition was aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The 2023 VA examiner concluded that the Veteran's pes planus existed prior to service and remained asymptomatic during his periods of active duty without any increase in severity due to service.
