Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected bilateral pes planus with plantar fasciitis, effective April 5, 2010, and also granted service connection for bilateral hallux valgus.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's bilateral hallux valgus is related to his service-connected pes planus, and the severity of his pes planus with plantar fasciitis most closely approximates a 50 percent disability rating.
