Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for pes planus as an addendum medical opinion is needed to determine if pre-existing pes planus underwent an increase in severity beyond its natural progression during service.
The deciding factor: The February 2017 medical opinion was found inadequate and did not address potentially favorable evidence or provide a clear rationale and supporting data.
