Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for bilateral pes planus with bilateral heel pain and remanded the claims for service connection for anxiety and depression.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher schedular rating, and further evidence was needed to determine the etiology of his mental health conditions.
