The Board has reopened the veteran's claim of service connection for a stomach condition due to new evidence presented, but it remains undecided whether this condition is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted that supports the veteran's claim of having a current diagnosis of a stomach condition, which may be related to his in-service treatment for duodenal ulcer.
