The Board has reopened the claims for rectal prolapse and a skin disorder of the feet, but service connection is not granted as the evidence does not establish that these conditions are related to military service.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted, but it did not provide sufficient evidence to substantiate the claim.
