The Board has determined that the Veteran's claims for service connection for shortness of breath, muscle pain, allergic rhinitis, pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), Bell's palsy, left hip disability with limitation of extension, and right hip disability with limitation of extension are not fully resolved due to insufficient evidence. The Board has remanded these claims for further review.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence does not provide sufficient new and relevant information to substantiate the Veteran's claims for service connection in all cases.
