The Board found that the evidence received since the last final decision is cumulative and does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim for service connection for a right sacroiliac disability.
The deciding factor: The new evidence submitted by the Veteran was duplicative of previous statements and did not provide any new information regarding whether the pre-existing condition was aggravated in service.
