The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for prostatitis, cardiovascular disability, and stomach disability. The claim for an increased rating for dermatophytosis of the feet and groin was also denied.
The deciding factor: The RO found that there was no clear and unmistakable error in the January 1983 decision granting service connection for dermatophytosis of the feet with a noncompensable disability rating, and thus the veteran's claims were not well-grounded. The Board agreed with this determination.
