The Board has determined that the submitted evidence does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims for psoriasis, eczema, erythema multiforme and dermatitis herpetiformis.
The deciding factor: The additional evidence provided is cumulative or redundant of previous evidence considered by the RO in March 2004 and does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claims.
