The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a prostate disorder due to exposure to Agent Orange and for a nervous disorder. The issue of service connection for a left leg amputation as secondary to a service-connected disorder is characterized as an issue in which the question of the submittal of new and material evidence is not relevant.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claims were denied based on lack of evidence supporting his assertions regarding exposure to Agent Orange and his nervous disorder, respectively. The left leg amputation claim was characterized as one where the question of the submission of new and material evidence is not relevant.
