The Board has reviewed the evidence and finds that new and material evidence has not been received to reopen any of the Veteran's service connection claims for his right femur, left wrist (radius), or left shoulder disabilities. The existing evidence does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate these claims.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence is cumulative and redundant of previous records, and does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims.
