Diabetes Board decisions

The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to September 27, 1997.

The Veteran's diabetes mellitus is presumed to have been incurred as a result of herbicide exposure during active duty service.

The appeal is remanded to obtain additional VA treatment records from the Columbia, Missouri VA Medical Center.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, finding no evidence of in-service exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides and no medical nexus between the Veteran's diabetes and his military service.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, finding no evidence of a link between his condition and military service.

The Veteran's PTSD was rated at 30 percent from May 1, 2004, to July 24, 2007; increased to 50 percent from July 25, 2007, to May 11, 2008; and remained at 50 percent thereafter.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, as due to Agent Orange exposure and denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for residuals of a head injury.

The Board has reopened the claim for service connection for a lung disability and denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, residuals of chemical exposure, and hepatitis B and C. The Veteran's PTSD is rated 30 percent.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II as the Veteran did not have 'service in the Republic of Vietnam' and there was no evidence that his condition was related to active service.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and consideration of additional evidence regarding the Veteran's service in Vietnam and potential herbicide exposure.

The Board denied the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, as there was no evidence of in-service exposure to herbicides and the condition was not shown until many years after service.

The Board found that the preponderance of the evidence is against a grant of service connection for diabetes mellitus, as there was no evidence showing direct service connection or exposure to herbicides.

The Board remands the case for a VA examination to determine if diabetes mellitus is related to service or secondary to a service-connected condition.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus as there was no evidence of the condition in service or within one year after separation, and no medical nexus linking it to military service.

The Veteran's diabetes mellitus, type II is granted service connection based on exposure to herbicides in Vietnam.

The Board denied service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, as there was no evidence that any of the conditions contributing to his death were incurred during active naval service or due to exposure to herbicides.

The Board denied reopening the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus and skin cancer as new and material evidence was not received.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease as they were not shown to be related to the Veteran's active duty, including exposure to Agent Orange.

The Veteran's service connection for diabetes mellitus was granted based on a presumption of exposure to Agent Orange due to his service in Vietnam during the Vietnam era.

The case is remanded to verify the veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during service, specifically regarding his claimed trips into Vietnam.
