Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of bilateral flat feet is remanded. The VA will schedule a medical examination to determine the nature and etiology of any current foot disability.
The deciding factor: The Board cannot make a fully-informed decision regarding service connection at this time due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
