The Veteran's claims for service connection have been reopened, but the Board has not yet determined whether they are granted. The right ankle disability claim is remanded for further development and examination.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was received to reopen the claims of residuals of a stab wound and an acquired psychiatric disorder (PTSD due to MST). The right ankle disability claim requires additional medical examination and records to determine its etiology.
