The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for heat rash, a rash on the chest and face, athletes foot, and chronic organic disability as a residual of radiation exposure. The evidence submitted since the prior denial does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate these claims.
The deciding factor: The new evidence submitted by the veteran does not establish that any of the claimed conditions were incurred or aggravated during service, including as a result of exposure to radiation.
