The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the veteran's claim for service connection for a skin condition of the feet, which was previously denied in April 1988. The additional medical records provided since then are considered significant enough to warrant reopening the case.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence (private medical records) has been presented that supports the veteran's claim for service connection for a skin condition of the feet.
