Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral flat feet, left shoulder strain, right shoulder strain, and both knee strains as the evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions found no aggravation beyond the natural progression or a direct relationship to the Veteran's active military service for any of the claimed conditions.
