New decisions are added every week, and older years are actively being backfilled — a year that looks thin or missing here (especially 2011–2017) is a gap in our library, not in the Board’s decisions.

Remanded (sent back)January 2019
The Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for regular aid and attendance or housebound status is remanded due to a lack of examination focusing solely on her service-connected disabilities. She needs an opportunity to be examined by a VA clinician.
Remanded (sent back)January 2019
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient medical guidance on whether the Veteran's neck disability is related to his service-connected brain cyst and low back disability, as well as whether it was caused by military service.
Remanded (sent back)January 2019
The Veteran's appeal for a higher disability rating for his left knee disability is being remanded due to the need for updated VA examinations and additional review of his medical records.
