The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been submitted to reopen the veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of a gunshot wound of the left foot with a healed fracture of the first metatarsal. The issue of service connection for back injury is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not provided to support reopening the claim for service connection for residuals of a gunshot wound of the left foot with a healed fracture of the first metatarsal, but the veteran's claim for service connection for back injury remains pending and requires additional medical examination and opinion.
