Denied
The Board denied service connection for a sprained left foot and bilateral pes planus as there was no current diagnosis or evidence of functional impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a conclusion that the Veteran's reported foot symptoms resulted in a current disability under Saunders v. Wilkie, supra.
