The veteran's claims for service connection for preseptal cellulitis of the eyelids and bleeding gums have been denied. The Board has also remanded other issues related to increased ratings for various disorders.
The deciding factor: The veteran does not have a current diagnosis of the claimed conditions, and his diagnoses are not service-connected.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
