The Board has reopened the claim for service connection of hyperhidrosis due to new evidence. The rating for residuals of a hematoma of the left scrotum remains denied as there is no voiding or renal dysfunction. The PTSD and depressive disorder NOS are remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: New evidence received since the last final decision relates to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim (hyperhidrosis).
