Partly granted
The Board granted the claims to reopen for back, left shoulder, and neck disabilities but denied service connection for a skin disability, including tinea cruris. The back disability claim was denied on the merits, while the other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new evidence supporting the reopening of the claims, but no nexus to service or aggravation was established for the skin condition and back disability, respectively.
