The Board denied the Veteran's request to reopen his claim, finding that new and material evidence was not submitted. The previous determination that injuries sustained by the Veteran in a motor vehicle accident on or about April 14, 1982, were not incurred in LOD is considered final.
The deciding factor: No new and material evidence has been presented to substantiate the claim of service connection for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on or about April 14, 1982.
