The Board has reopened the claims for service connection for pinched nerve and lower extremity paralysis, but denied the remaining claims due to lack of new and material evidence. The low back disability, right hip disability, and right shoulder disability are not considered service-connected.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was presented for the pinched nerve and lower extremity paralysis claims, but insufficient evidence was provided to support the other claims.
