Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for bilateral pes planus from July 5, 2019, but denied an increased rating prior to that date. The lumbar spine claim was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran met the criteria for a 30 percent rating on July 5, 2019, based on objective evidence of marked deformity and pain on use accentuated.
