The Board has denied all claims for service connection, finding that new and material evidence was not submitted to reopen any of the previously denied claims.
The deciding factor: The RO's May 2000 decisions denying these claims were final as no appeal was filed within one year of notification. The veteran did not submit new and material evidence in support of his claims.
