The evidence received subsequent to the August 2000 Board decision is new and material, allowing the claim for a cervical spine disorder to be reopened. The left hip disorder was not incurred in or aggravated by active service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the competent evidence does not support a finding that the veteran's left hip disorder is related to his period of service or any service-connected disability.
