Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for flat feet to schedule a VA examination as it finds that the evidence of record satisfies the low McLendon threshold.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for a medical examination to address whether the Veteran's current foot condition began during or was caused by his military service, given the reported in-service foot trouble and post-service continuity of symptoms.
