The Board has determined that the submitted evidence is not new and material, thus denying the reopening of claims for service connection for nervousness, a chest disorder, or dizziness due to head injury.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate any claim and does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating any of the appellant's claims.
