Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for bilateral pes planus and remanded the claims for service connection for tingling and numbness in the bilateral lower extremities and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, and there was insufficient evidence to establish a link between his current disability and service or service-connected conditions.
