Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of right foot bursitis retrocalcaneal and heel tendonitis, as there was no evidence of new and material information that would have changed the outcome of the prior denial in 2007.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of new and relevant evidence submitted within one year of the October 2007 final denial, which would have altered the previous decision.
