Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral pes planus and an initial rating of 10 percent, prior to January 14, 2020, for a splenectomy scar. The claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's pes planus started in service and has continued ever since, and his splenectomy scar covered an area of at least 6 square inches but less than 12 square inches prior to January 14, 2020.
