Granted
The Board granted a rating of 50 percent for the Veteran's bilateral pes planus with linear scars and metatarsal, heel spurs and arthritis from November 15, 2011, to November 17, 2014.
The deciding factor: The record shows constant burning and tingling pain, and marked overpronation of the feet, which were not improved by orthotics, similar to extreme tenderness of the plantar surfaces, contemplated by a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5276.
