The Board has reopened the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral foot calluses due to new evidence presented since the previous denial. The case is now remanded for further examination and adjudication.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted that relates to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim, namely the existence of a current disability (bilateral foot calluses).
