Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left foot pes planus and denied increased ratings for pseudofolliculitis barbae, hip disabilities, and other claimed conditions. Some claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a finding that the Veteran's left foot pes planus is etiologically related to his active service. The denial of increased ratings was due to insufficient evidence of disability severity warranting higher ratings.
