462 vetted Board decisions in 2010.
The Board found that the Veteran's death was not caused by any incident in service or related to a service-connected disability, and therefore denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death.
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for sarcoidosis with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, finding that the claim was received on April 15, 1999, which is when VA first received a formal or informal claim. The Veteran's military service ended in September 1970, and he did not file a claim within one year of discharge.
