The Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral knee disability, bladder diverticulum status post TURP, cervical spine condition, and colitis have been denied. The claim for bilateral knee disability was not reopened due to lack of new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence has not been received to reopen the previously denied claim of entitlement to service connection for a bilateral knee disability.
