Partly granted
Service connection for pes planus was granted, but service connection for bilateral osteoarthritis of the feet secondary to pes planus was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence showed onset of pes planus during service and no clear and unmistakable evidence of preexisting condition, but did not demonstrate a causal link between pes planus and the osteoarthritis.
