Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral pes planus, finding that the condition underwent an increase in severity during active duty and was presumed to have been aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The evidence established an increase in the severity of the Veteran's pre-existing pes planus during service, and there is no clear and unmistakable evidence rebutting this presumption of aggravation.
