Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the grants of service connection for adjustment disorder, bilateral pes planus, right knee limitation of extension, and left knee limitation of extension. The Board also granted service connection for a back condition as secondary to service-connected bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran continuously pursued his claims since April 12, 2019, and the evidence supports that the back condition is due to the service-connected bilateral pes planus.
