The Board granted readjudication of the claims for service connection for a right knee disability, neck disability, and lower back disability based on new and relevant evidence. However, it denied service connection for a right knee disability.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements provided new and relevant evidence that tended to prove or disprove an in-service incurrence of the claimed conditions, leading to readjudication of the claims. The denial was based on a lack of sufficient evidence linking the current disabilities to service.
