Granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for a neuropsychiatric condition and depressive disorder have been reopened, and the claim is now granted. The bilateral hand disability and TDIU claims are still pending.
The deciding factor: New evidence has been submitted that raises a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim for service connection for a neuropsychiatric condition and depressive disorder.
