The Board has remanded the claims of whether new and material evidence has been received to reopen service connection for anxiety, PTSD, a left leg amputation, diabetes mellitus, type II, and liver dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The Veteran submitted timely notices of disagreement with the November 2018 rating decision but no SOC had yet been issued. The Board found it had jurisdiction over these legacy claims under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA).
