The Board granted service connection for bilateral pes planus and remanded the claim for lumbosacral strain with scoliosis.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on evidence showing that the Veteran's current pes planus began during active service, while the lumbosacral strain with scoliosis claim requires further development due to an incomplete medical opinion regarding its relationship to service or a service-connected condition.
