The Board reopened the claims for service connection for a bilateral knee condition and a bilateral ankle condition, but denied the requests to reopen claims for service connection for anxiety neurosis, hysteria, and a bilateral foot condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted since the previous denials was found to be new and material for the knee and ankle conditions, but not for the other conditions.
