The Board has decided that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim for service connection for anxiety disorder with depressive features, but denied all other claims. The rating for PTSD remains at 10 percent.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was found in this case, allowing the Veteran's original claim for anxiety disorder with depressive features to be reopened. However, the Board did not find any new or substantial evidence to support the reopening of the remaining service connection claims.
