- Whole decision: DeniedJanuary 2015
The Board has determined that the Veteran's current eye disability, including cataracts and glaucoma, is not related to his service or service-connected diabetes mellitus.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)January 2015
The Veteran seeks service connection for glaucoma that he claims is secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II. The Board has determined that a remand is necessary to obtain clarifying opinions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's glaucoma and whether it is at least as likely as not caused or aggravated by his service-connected diabetes.
