The Board has reopened the claim for service connection of a back injury, but denied claims for other conditions due to lack of evidence linking them to military service.
The deciding factor: No new and material evidence was found to support reopening the claim for service connection of the back injury. The veteran's claimed conditions were not shown to be related to his military service.
