The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted, allowing the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for ulcers to be reopened. The claim is also considered well-grounded.
The deciding factor: The additional medical evidence presented since the last denial supports a finding of a current gastrointestinal disability related to the veteran's period of active service.
