The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen claims for service connection for bilateral pes planus with joint disease and left side stomach pain. However, the claims for other conditions have not met the threshold requirement of new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was found sufficient to reopen claims for bilateral pes planus with joint disease and left side stomach pain, but insufficient to reopen claims for other conditions.
