Ischemic heart disease Board decisions

The Board has determined that the Veteran's claimed conditions are not related to his military service and have denied all of his claims.

The Board found that the Veteran's coronary artery disease and angina, as well as membranous glomerulonephritis, were not incurred or aggravated by his active military service. The evidence did not support a finding of service connection for these conditions.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded for further development, including a paid and due audit of the overpayment amount and consideration of both the creation of the overpayment and the entitlement to a waiver of recovery.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including VA examinations and consideration of his service connection claims.

The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected bronchitis did not cause or contribute to his death, as other causes such as hypertension and coronary artery disease were more significant.

The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date of service connection is dismissed as the February 1995 rating decision, which granted a 100% disability rating for coronary artery disease effective March 18, 1994, became final within one year.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including a request for a VA examination and medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's heart condition is related to his service-connected PTSD.

The Veteran's service-connected cardiovascular disability is rated at 30 percent, low back disability at 20 percent, and right peroneal nerve paresthesia associated with the low back disability at 10 percent. The appeals for higher ratings are denied.

The Board denied the motion for CUE in the June 2008 decision, finding that the prior decision was not comprised of any obvious error of fact or law.

The Veteran seeks service connection for coronary artery disease with history of myocardial infarction, hypertension, and erectile dysfunction. The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development.

The Veteran's death was not caused by any service-connected condition, and the service-connected conditions did not contribute to his death. The issues of service connection for heart disease and hypertension as secondary to PTSD and special monthly compensation based on need for aid and attendance were denied.

The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including heart disease, hypertension, prostate disorder, positive TB test, and exposure to ionizing radiation. The Veteran's claims were not supported by competent evidence of a nexus between the claimed conditions and his military service.

The Veteran's heart condition is granted service connection, while his post concussion syndrome headaches are denied an increased rating.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for hyperthyroidism, heart disease, gouty arthritis, and kidney disability were denied as there was no evidence of these conditions during or within one year after his military service. The Board found that the preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding of service connection.

The Veteran's appeal was dismissed due to the death of the appellant.

The Board has denied the Veteran's attempts to reopen his previously denied claims for service connection for heart, cervical spine, and bilateral foot disabilities.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's coronary artery disease was aggravated by his service-connected diabetes, and thus grants service connection for this condition.

The Veteran's claim for a TDIU is being remanded due to the need for additional development, including obtaining his VA Vocational Rehabilitation file and any outstanding VA treatment records. The Veteran will be scheduled for a VA examination to determine if he is unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.

The Veteran is seeking service connection for coronary artery disease and hypertension, which he claims developed during his military service. The Board has determined that additional development is needed to address the etiology of these conditions.

The Veteran's service connection claims for diabetes and its complications are denied as the evidence does not support a finding that these conditions were incurred or aggravated by active service.
