Partly granted
The Board granted reconsideration of the issues of entitlement to service connection for basal cell carcinoma, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and bilateral upper and lower extremity diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The claims for these conditions were previously denied but are now being readjudicated due to new evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the submission of new and relevant evidence that raised a theory of entitlement not previously addressed, warranting reconsideration of the claims.
