The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a chronic skin disorder and increased ratings for his left thigh/scrotal region disability. The veteran was not granted service connection due to lack of evidence during service or post-service, and his current conditions were not found to be related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the veteran's claimed conditions did not manifest during service or within one year after discharge, and there was no new evidence provided to reopen a previously denied claim for service connection.
