The veteran's claim of service connection for PTSD has been reopened and is granted. Service connection for hematuria is denied as there is no evidence linking the condition to service or exposure to Agent Orange. The skin disorder claim is also denied.
The deciding factor: No direct link between current hematuria and service was established, and presumed exposure to Agent Orange does not apply due to lack of specific determination by VA.
