The claim for service connection for a skin disorder was reopened, but the veteran's claims for service connection for an eye disorder and right hand disability were denied. Other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence contributed to a more complete picture of the circumstances surrounding the origin of the claimed conditions, even though it may not have convinced the Board to grant the claim.
