The Board has dismissed the claims of service connection for left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, left hand, and right hand neuropathy as these issues were previously appealed to the Board.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's previous appeals on these issues had already been addressed by the Board in a prior decision, making any further review redundant and improper under VA regulations.
