Denied
The Board denied service connection for shin splints and remanded the claim for bilateral pes planus due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's shin splints are related to his active service, while further information is needed regarding the etiology of his bilateral pes planus.
