Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for peptic ulcer disease, left leg disability, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperplastic colon polyp were dismissed. Claims for right ankle disability, seizure disorder, emphysema, bunion, GERD, and alcoholism were granted but remanded for further review. The claim for abnormal liver function was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the submission of new and relevant evidence sufficient to reopen certain claims.
