New and Material Evidence Law and Legal Definition
New and material evidence is defined as “existing evidence not previously submitted to agency decision-makers. Material evidence means existing evidence that, by itself or when considered with previous evidence of record, relates to an un-established fact necessary to substantiate the claim. New and material evidence can be neither cumulative nor redundant of the evidence of record at the time of the last prior final denial of the claim sought to be reopened, and must raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim.” Isaac v. Shinseki, 2009 U.S. App. Vet. Claims LEXIS 2021, 7-8 (U.S. App. Vet. Cl. Nov. 18, 2009)
