Denied
The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected bilateral pes planus and plantar fasciitis, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's foot condition was found to be manifested by marked deformity and pain on use that was accentuated, but did not meet the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5276.
