Dismissed
The Veteran withdrew appeals for service connection of various conditions, and the appeal was dismissed. The Board also denied service connection for bilateral foot pain/flat feet.
The deciding factor: The Veteran explicitly requested to withdraw her appeals during a hearing, confirming she understood the consequences of doing so. For the remaining issue, there is no evidence showing that the pre-existing pes planus disability was aggravated by service.
