Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral flat feet to obtain a medical opinion on whether the condition increased in severity during service and if so, whether the increase was due to natural progression.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for an addendum medical opinion regarding the aggravation of pre-existing pes planus during service.
