Denied
The Board denied readjudication of the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, aphthous ulcers, a right elbow condition, an enlarged prostate, a right ankle disorder, and a left ankle disorder as no new and relevant evidence was received.
The deciding factor: The SPRs did not contain relevant evidence to support the Veteran's claims for service connection, and the additional evidence submitted was deemed not new and relevant.
