The Board is considering whether new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim for service connection for a cardiovascular disorder as secondary to the veteran's service-connected left leg amputation. If such evidence is found, the Board will then decide if all of the evidence warrants granting service connection.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not provided to support reopening the claim.
