The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, finding that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence received since the last denial was found to be cumulative and redundant, thus failing to raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims.
