The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for prostate disorder and loss of a creative organ, finding no evidence of such conditions during or within one year after his military discharge. The new evidence submitted does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating these claims.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence is cumulative and does not provide sufficient information to establish the presence of chronic prostate disorder or loss of a creative organ in service or within one year post-service.
