Denied
The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for arthritis, an eye disability, and residuals of a back injury. The appeals regarding hearing loss and coronary artery disease with myocardial infarction were not addressed as they are final decisions.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted since the last denial does not provide new or material information to support reopening any of the claims for service connection.
