The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection for a chronic liver disorder and reopening his hepatitis claim are both denied. The veteran is not entitled to service connection for these conditions due to lack of evidence linking them to military service, and the new evidence submitted does not provide sufficient material to reopen the hepatitis claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the provided evidence did not establish a clear link between the claimed conditions and military service or any exposure basis.
