The Board found that new and material evidence has not been received to reopen the claim for service connection for Osgood-Schlatter's disease, as the Veteran's testimony was both cumulative and redundant of previous statements.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's August 2010 DRO hearing testimony did not provide new or significant information that would support reopening the claim.
