The appeal for service connection for a lung disorder was reopened but denied, while the appeals for an eye disorder and amputation of the left leg were remanded. The decision also addressed the Veteran's claims for kidney and prostate disorders, which were remanded.
The deciding factor: The denial of the lung disorder claim was based on a lack of evidence linking it to service, while the eye disorder claim required further development due to new evidence suggesting its possible relation to service.
