The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been submitted to reopen the Veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of right knee injury and left knee injury. The previous denial was based on a lack of medical evidence showing a chronic condition related to military service.
The deciding factor: The provided evidence does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claims, nor does it raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims.
