The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for Multiple Sclerosis, which is presumed to have been aggravated by active service. The veteran's Multiple Sclerosis is therefore presumed to be related to his military service.
The deciding factor: New medical evidence supports a finding that the veteran's Multiple Sclerosis was aggravated by his military service.
