- Whole decision: DeniedJanuary 2014
The Veteran's lung disability was not incurred in or aggravated by service and may not be presumed to have been so incurred. The criteria for the assignment of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities have not been met.
- Whole decision: GrantedJanuary 2014
The Board found that the September 2007 rating decision denying service connection for asbestosis was based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE) due to insufficient rationale provided by a VA examiner, leading to the reversal of the previous denial.

The Veteran's claim for higher ratings for asbestosis has been withdrawn, resulting in the dismissal of this appeal.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)January 2014
