Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral pes planus (flat feet) but denied service connection for left and right knee conditions, diagnosed as strains.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's pes planus and his military service, while there was insufficient evidence to establish a similar link for the knee conditions.
