The Board has determined that the submitted evidence does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims for service connection for stomach and right eye disorders.
The deciding factor: The new evidence provided by the veteran does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claims, as it fails to provide a medical linkage between current disabilities and active service.
