Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral flat feet and cervical spine arthritis, as there was no evidence of a current disability or in-service injury/illness. The claim for headaches and anxiety were remanded.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran incurred an in-service injury or illness leading to the claimed conditions, and there was no continuity of symptomatology.
