Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral pes planus, finding that the Veteran's pre-existing condition permanently worsened during active service from January 2005 to December 2005.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed permanent worsening of the Veteran's pre-existing pes planus during active service, and VA failed to meet its burden to show clear and unmistakable evidence that such worsening was due to natural progression.
