The Board has denied service connection for hypertension and remanded the claims of service connection for bilateral eyes glaucoma and diabetes mellitus due to insufficient medical opinions.
The Board has determined that new and relevant evidence has been received to warrant readjudication of the Veteran's claims for higher ratings in several service-connected conditions. The issues are being remanded for further development, including additional examinations.
The Veteran's appeals for disability ratings and TDIU have been dismissed due to his death.
The appellant is granted SMC(o) and SMC(r)(1) based on his service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, glaucoma, foot drop conditions, sleep apnea, migraines, overactive bladder, and various musculoskeletal issues. He does not qualify for higher rates due to the anatomical loss or use of extremities.
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 90 percent for the service-connected open-angle glaucoma, but granted special monthly compensation based on need for aid and attendance.
