Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a bilateral foot disability to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's pre-existing pes planus was aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The prior opinions were found inadequate due to lack of discussion on relevant lay statements and evidence, necessitating further development.
