Denied
The Board denied the veteran's petitions to readjudicate claims for service connection for right knee degenerative arthritis, left knee degenerative arthritis, right elbow lateral epicondylitis, left elbow lateral epicondylitis, and plantar fasciitis as no new and relevant evidence was submitted since the April 2020 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the new evidence did not prove or disprove a matter at issue, specifically a medical nexus between the current disabilities and the veteran's military service.
