Granted
The Veteran's petition to reopen claims for service connection for aching bones, headaches, and fatigue as due to undiagnosed illness was granted. The claim for service connection for aching bones is now reopened with a disability rating of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: New evidence provided by VA examination reports showed current diagnoses related to the Veteran's claimed disabilities, raising a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims.
