The Board denied both the motion sickness claim and the claims for various other conditions, finding that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen the motion sickness claim and that there was no competent medical evidence of any current disabilities.
The deciding factor: The veteran's assertions were found to be cumulative and did not provide new or significant evidence to support reopening his motion sickness claim. For the other claims, the Board concluded that there was insufficient competent medical evidence to establish current disabilities.
