The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the need for a Board hearing. The issues of service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and an increased rating for asbestosis prior to July 10, 2007 are still pending.
The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have any residuals of asbestos exposure related to his military service and therefore denied the claim for service connection.
The Veteran's initial compensable disability rating for asbestosis with pleural plaques was granted from November 23, 1993 to May 20, 1998. From May 21, 1998 to November 7, 2002, he received a 10 percent disability rating for this condition. The claim for an increased rating beyond the initial 10 percent was denied.
The Board has remanded the case for additional development due to incomplete medical opinions and further examination.
The Veteran's claim for service connection for asbestosis is being remanded due to conflicting medical evidence and the need for a new VA examination.
The Veteran withdrew his appeal for service connection of asbestosis.
