Partly granted
The Veteran was granted service connection for left and right knee disabilities, effective September 15, 2015, as secondary to pes planus. The Board also granted a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record showing that the Veteran's knee disabilities were related to his service-connected pes planus disability and that he is unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
