Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for ulcers was reopened and granted, while the claims for right ankle disability, left knee disability, and gastric disability (claimed as ulcers with recurrent symptoms) were remanded.
The deciding factor: The new evidence provided by the Veteran raised a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim for service connection for ulcers. The other claims were remanded to obtain additional medical opinions and outstanding treatment records.
