Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral pes planus, a foot condition, was granted. The Board found that the condition was permanently aggravated by military service.
The deciding factor: The December 2022 VA examination opinion was deemed more probative due to its thorough rationale and support from the veteran's lay statements.
