The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for Buerger's disease, residuals of a head injury and concussion with residual headaches, and skin disorder (claimed as due to exposure to herbicides) because new and material evidence was not submitted.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not submitted to reopen any of the veteran's claims for service connection.
