Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of bilateral flat foot (pes planus) to obtain an opinion on whether it is caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a lack of adequate rationale regarding whether the Veteran's bilateral pes planus is caused or aggravated by the service-connected plantar fasciitis.
