The Board denied the veteran's claims of service connection for residuals of radiation exposure and depressive neurosis, finding that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a relationship between the veteran's current conditions and his in-service radiation exposure or other claimed exposures.
