- Whole decision: DeniedJanuary 2013
The Board has denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for glaucoma, finding that there is no evidence linking the condition to his military service or any service-connected disability.
- Whole decision: DismissedJanuary 2013
The Veteran's appeals to reopen his claim for service connection for glaucoma, hypertension, and sinus disorder have been dismissed as he has withdrawn these claims. The appeal of the increased rating for diabetes mellitus is also dismissed.
- Whole decision: GrantedJanuary 2013
The Board has determined that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss is related to active duty service and grants this claim. The issue of entitlement to service connection for bilateral glaucoma requires additional development as it involves a medical opinion regarding potential eye trauma during basic training.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)January 2013
The Board has ordered a remand for further development to determine if the Veteran has glaucoma and whether it is related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus.
