The Board found that the veteran's pericarditis resolved in service without evidence of current disability. For hypoglycemia, the Board noted a history but did not find any disease related to service. The appeal is considered 'mixed' as some issues were granted and others were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that new evidence submitted since the January 1995 decision was insufficient to reopen claims for pericarditis and hypoglycemia, respectively.
