- Whole decision: GrantedFebruary 2001
The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the veteran's claim for service connection for an eye disorder. The Board also found that the June 1954 rating decision did not involve clear and unmistakable error (CUE). As a result, the veteran is granted service connection for his bilateral blindness due to glaucoma incurred during active service.
- Whole decision: DeniedFebruary 2001
The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected blindness of the left eye does not warrant a rating greater than 30 percent, as his visual acuity in the right eye is 20/40 and he does not have any visual field loss.
- Whole decision: GrantedFebruary 2001
The Board has determined that the appellant is not entitled to aid and attendance benefits due to her visual acuity, but she meets the criteria for a housebound allowance based on her legally blind condition.
- Whole decision: DeniedJanuary 2001
The Board has denied the veteran's claim for service connection for glaucoma, finding that it was not incurred or aggravated by his military service. The issue of conjunctivitis and bilateral pterygium is not within its jurisdiction.
- Whole decision: GrantedJanuary 2001
