Granted
The Board granted service connection for right foot, residuals of bunionectomy and right foot, residuals of hammer toe repair as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected pes planus.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a medical opinion from the Veteran's treating physical therapist who opined that her bunion pain and surgery were connected to her pes planus, and all her foot conditions were interconnected.
