The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been submitted to reopen the claim of entitlement to service connection for hypotension, claimed as low blood pressure. The Veteran's claims for a compensable evaluation for pseudofolliculitis barbae and an increased evaluation for left hand dermatitis, id reaction are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence does not relate to an unestablished fact or raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim of entitlement to service connection for hypotension, claimed as low blood pressure.
