The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection due to lack of new and material evidence, but granted a 10 percent evaluation for arthralgia of the cervical spine.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not submitted to reopen the veteran's claims for sleep disturbance, panic attacks with trembling and shaking, fatigue, and depression as well as nausea, vomiting, and loss of bowel control.
