The Board found that new and material evidence had not been presented to reopen the claim for service connection for stomach ulcers, as the submitted evidence did not provide a more complete picture of the circumstances surrounding the origin of the veteran's ulcer disease.
The deciding factor: The submitted medical records were insufficient to establish a continuity of symptomatology or to show that the veteran's current condition was related to his military service.
