Granted
The Board granted entitlement to special monthly compensation based on loss of use of the bilateral feet and service connection for skin disabilities due to service-connected bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's skin disabilities were proximately caused by his service-connected bilateral pes planus, thus granting the claim under the benefit-of-the-doubt standard.
