The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been received to reopen the claims for service connection for a skin disorder, psychiatric disability, and back disorder. The evidence submitted does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate these claims.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence is insufficient to establish that the current conditions are related to military service or exposure to Agent Orange.
