The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of a back injury, right shoulder injury, and right leg injury have been denied. The claim for service connection for residuals of a back injury was previously denied in September 1963 and no new and material evidence has been received to reopen this claim.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence did not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim of entitlement to service connection for residuals of a back injury.
