As I have been putting a package together for a claim, I found my entrance medical examination and noticed a "Note" in regards to a clinical evaluation for Pes planus. I do not have a disability rating even for noncompensable condition for 0%. I researched how the Department of Veterans Affairs rates veterans with flatfoot under 38 C.F.R § 4.71a, diagnostic code 5276, and it stated that veterans can be rated between 0 percent and 50 percent on a scale of mild to pronounced for flat foot. Could this have been overlooked during my VA Medical Exam? How and should I bring this up now?
Background:
Entrance medical examination in 1985, notes (36. Feet) Pes Planus, mild
VA medical examination in 2009, nothing mention of Pes Planus nor any rating given
During military career had inserts in boots
Documented foot issues
Current having issues with tibial tendon
Background:
On my entrance examination, conducted in 1985, it was noted under the clinical evaluation (36.) Feet that "Pes Planus, mild"
