Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral flat foot (pes planus) to include plantar fasciitis, intervertebral disc syndrome with degenerative arthritis, and right knee tendonitis. Bilateral hearing loss was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran had bilateral hearing loss disability for VA purposes at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
