Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for bilateral pes planus as of March 8, 2022, but denied an earlier effective date and dismissed the claim for TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's pes planus more closely approximated pronounced severity as of March 8, 2022, warranting a 50 percent rating under DC 5276.
