The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of dengue fever and a right ankle disorder due to lack of new and material evidence. The case is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for residuals of dengue fever, as no current medical evidence linked the veteran's current disorders to his in-service dengue fever.
