The Veteran's service connection claims for a lumbar spine condition, diabetes mellitus, rosacea, bilateral hip condition, onychomycosis, urticaria (urticaria), sinusitis, and fatigue were all denied. The claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for urticaria was granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide sufficient new and material evidence to reopen his service connection claims for a lumbar spine condition or diabetes mellitus, and the evidence provided was insufficient to establish these conditions as being related to service.
