The Board denied service connection for obesity and deviated septum, but remanded the claims of entitlement to service connection for bilateral pes planus and deviated septum for further development. The claim for diabetes was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted by the Veteran is new and relevant, warranting readjudication of his claims for service connection for obesity and deviated septum. However, there are no earlier effective dates or ancillary benefits available to the Veteran regarding the grant of service connection for diabetes, making it moot.
