Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied service connection for bilateral pes planus and sinusitis, and remanded the claims for a left knee disability, right knee disability, bilateral plantar fasciitis, right hand carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral hearing loss disability, and allergic rhinitis for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions are related to service. Additionally, an adequate medical opinion on the etiology of some claims is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
