The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a left hip injury and hypoglycemia, finding that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen these previously denied claims.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the submitted evidence was not new or material as it did not provide any information that would support reopening of the veteran's claims for service connection for a left hip injury and hypoglycemia.
