The Board denied the claims for service connection for right knee, left knee, right foot, left foot, and acquired psychiatric disorders as new and relevant evidence was not received to warrant readjudication.
The deciding factor: The newly submitted evidence failed to provide new information that proves or disproves the matter at issue, thus it could not be readjudicated.
