Denied
The Board denied readjudication of increased rating claims for diabetes mellitus, bilateral knee, bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, and cervical spine, as well as an earlier effective date for DEA and entitlement to TDIU due to the lack of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The CAPRI records submitted were found to be new but not relevant to the issues at hand, thus no change in the previous denials was warranted.
