COPD decisions — 2000

342 vetted Board decisions in 2000.

Browse by year

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.

DeniedJanuary 2000
The Board found that the veteran's COPD is not service-connected due to lack of evidence showing nicotine dependence or a causal relationship between tobacco use during service and current COPD.
GrantedJanuary 2000
The Board has granted a higher evaluation for the veteran's residuals of adenocarcinoma, but denied his request for an increased rating. The scar from the lobectomy and wedge resection is evaluated at 10 percent.
