Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right foot pes planus as a remand is necessary to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The examiner employed an incorrect legal standard for a disorder that was noted upon entry, and did not consider the Veteran's reports of a continuity of relevant foot symptomatology since service.
