Partly granted
The Board granted the reopening of claims for service connection for left knee condition, chronic back pain from sacroiliac joint (claimed as back condition), status post total knee replacement, right knee, and left hand writer's dystonia (also claimed as tremors) based on new and relevant evidence. The claims are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board granted the reopening of the claims because new and relevant evidence was received after the prior final denial in August 2024.
