Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for bilateral pes planus as additional evidence and medical opinions are needed.
The deciding factor: There is no clear and unmistakable evidence that the Veteran's pre-existing pes planus increased in severity during service, and an adequate opinion addressing this question has not been obtained.
