Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for service-connected bilateral pes planus, claimed as foot disability, to correct a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a lack of differentiation between symptoms related to pes planus and plantar fasciitis, and to determine the etiology of the Veteran's plantar fasciitis.
