The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left leg disorder, but further development is needed before the merits of the case can be addressed.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted to reopen the previously denied claim, but additional information about the Veteran's service and treatment is required to properly assess the merits of the claim.
