The veteran's claims for service connection and increased evaluations were denied. The RO also failed to provide a supplemental statement of the case with regard to the appellate issues.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the denial of the veteran's claims as they did not meet the criteria for service connection or an increase in evaluation under applicable regulations.

A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available.
