Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right knee disorder and did not address the issue of new and material evidence. The veteran's request to reopen his claim was found insufficient, resulting in denial.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence did not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim for service connection for a right knee disorder.
