Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to correct a duty to assist error. A new examination is needed to determine the severity of the veteran's bilateral pes planus without considering medication effects.
The deciding factor: The April 2021 VA examination report did not adequately consider all symptomology associated with the veteran's service-connected bilateral pes planus.
