Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's bilateral foot disability, effective from August 14, 2023.
The deciding factor: The record reflects bilateral pes planus with objective evidence of decreased longitudinal arches with extreme tenderness of the plantar surfaces of both feet, warranting a 50 percent rating under DC 5276.
