Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of bilateral flat foot with plantar fasciitis due to inadequate medical opinions. The veteran will receive a new opinion considering all evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that previous medical opinions were insufficient because they contradicted the evidence of record and did not discuss all instances of in-service foot complaints.
