251 vetted Board decisions in 2006.
The Board has determined that the evidence does not reflect overall improvement in the veteran's service-connected GERD, and thus restored a 30 percent rating for GERD from September 1, 2004.
The veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development, including scheduling of examinations and obtaining medical records.
The Board has remanded the veteran's claims for additional development due to failure of the veteran to report for scheduled VA examinations.
The veteran's appeal is remanded for a new VA examination to determine the severity of his service-connected irritable bowel syndrome with gastroesophageal reflux disease, and for consideration under all applicable diagnostic codes.
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding whether the veteran's gastroesophageal reflux disease is related to her service-connected bronchial asthma.
The Board has determined that a VA examination is needed to determine if the veteran's GERD was caused by VA medical treatment, including Motrin prescribed in February 1987 and June 1990. The case will be returned for further review after this examination.
The Board has granted a 10 percent disability rating for the veteran's service-connected hypertensive blood pressure from August 28, 2002 to May 18, 2003. The claim for an increased initial disability rating for bilateral hearing loss is denied.
The Board has granted service connection for major depressive disorder, finding that the veteran's current condition is related to his military service. The gastrointestinal reflux disease issue remains pending and will be remanded.
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, degenerative joint disease of the left leg (claimed as secondary to intervertebral disc syndrome), a left ankle disability, and a right ankle disability. The gastrointestinal disability claim was also denied. Service connection is presumed for arthritis or degenerative joint disease within one year after separation from service.
The veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including medical examinations and a review of her claims by the Board.
The Board remands the case for appropriate VA examinations to determine the nature and etiology of the claimed conditions.
