The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a cervical injury as no new and relevant evidence had been received to warrant readjudication.
The deciding factor: The AOJ relied on previous evidence from October 1992 STRs and November 2019 VA examination in denying the claim, finding that the new evidence did not address the issue at hand.
