Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Dismissed
The Veteran withdrew his appeal for service connection for metatarsalgia, tinea pedis, and GERD.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for pes planus with hallux valgus, metatarsalgia, and hammer toes as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred or aggravated during active service.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an increased disability rating and earlier effective date based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in prior rating decisions.
- Dismissed
All appeals for higher initial ratings and service connection were dismissed as they were duplicative of previously addressed appeals or due to untimely filings.
