The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection for a central nervous system disorder, low back disorder (including spina bifida occulta), bilateral foot disorder (including pes planus), and genitourinary disorder (including hydronephrosis and/or pyelonephritis) are not well grounded. The RO denied these claims in January 1955, which is considered final.
The deciding factor: The veteran has not presented any competent evidence of a current central nervous system disorder or the other claimed conditions that would be sufficient to reopen his service connection claims.
