The Board found that some new evidence supports the veteran's claims for service connection, reopening them. The claim for undulant fever is well-grounded and plausible. Claims for residuals of head injury, fractured nose, and fractures to the left ribs are also considered plausible.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted supporting the veteran's claims for service connection.

- Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a head injury, headache disorder, erectile dysfunction, left earache disorder, chronic fatigue, right shoulder disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, right foot disorder, GERD, and left shoulder disorder, as the evidence did not support current diagnoses of these conditions.
- Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for right hand strain status-post fracture of the third metacarpal and denied service connection for various other conditions including a right ankle condition, foot disability (torn Achilles tendon), acquired psychiatric disability, ear condition, head injury, left leg disability, and low back disability.
- Dismissed
All appeals for higher initial ratings and service connection were dismissed as they were duplicative of previously addressed appeals or due to untimely filings.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for head injury due to an inadequate medical opinion that failed to consider the Veteran's reported symptoms.
