Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral flat feet, finding that the disability was aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reports of in-service symptoms and the post-service diagnosis of symptomatic pes planus within nine months of separation provided evidence of in-service aggravation, which VA failed to rebut with clear and unmistakable evidence.
