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 2012
The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for various gastrointestinal and cardiovascular conditions, as well as a positional tremor. The issues were remanded by the Board in October 2009 to obtain VA examinations related to these claims. However, the Veteran failed to report for scheduled examinations multiple times, leading to their cancellation.
DeniedJanuary 2012
The VA determined that the Veteran's GERD is not causally related to his service-connected PTSD and denied the claim.
Remanded (sent back)January 2012
The Veteran's claim for service connection for a digestive disability, including PUD and GERD, is being remanded due to inadequate examination in April 2007. Additional development, including obtaining VA treatment records since December 2009 and scheduling the Veteran for an additional examination by a medical doctor specializing in digestive disorders, is needed.
DeniedJanuary 2012
The Veteran's claims for increased ratings for her service-connected GERD with positive H. pylori antibody and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome were denied as the evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
DeniedJanuary 2012
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for GERD, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus type II, and hypertension as due to exposure to Agent Orange or asbestos. The Board found that there was no evidence of in-country service in Vietnam, no qualifying exposure to herbicides off-shore, and no positive association between exposure to herbicides and any condition.
GrantedJanuary 2012
The Veteran's unauthorized medical expenses for treatment of a non-service-connected condition from December 8 to December 10, 2006 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center are granted.
GrantedJanuary 2012
The Veteran is service-connected for multiple conditions and the Board finds that his service-connected disabilities make him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
DeniedJanuary 2012
The appellant's service-connected disabilities do not render him unemployable due to their severity.
