Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left ankle tendonitis, effective from the date of claim. The pes planus claim was remanded.
The deciding factor: The presumption of soundness applied to the Veteran's ankles, and the evidence supported a finding that his bilateral ankle tendonitis began during active service.
