Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral pes planus based on the aggravation of a pre-existing condition during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed an increase in severity of the Veteran's preexisting pes planus during service, and there was no clear and unmistakable evidence to show that the increase was due to the natural progression of the disease.
