Granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection have been reopened due to new and material evidence. Service connection is granted for post-operative L5-S1 herniated nucleus pulposus residuals, left knee Osgood-Schlatter disease, right elbow disorder, bilateral toe disorder, and diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was received that supports the Veteran's claims of service connection for these conditions.
