503 vetted Board decisions in 2014.
The Veteran claims he developed right kidney atrophy due to lack of VA care. The Board has ordered a remand for further examination and opinion regarding the standard of care provided by VA.
Service connection for PTSD, left eye cataract, low back disability, gall bladder disability, bilateral upper extremity neuropathy, kidney disability, heart disability, and periodontal disease has been granted.
The Board found that the Veteran's cause of death (uremia, end stage renal disease, and hypertensive cardiovascular disease) was not related to his period of service. The conditions were diagnosed many years after separation from service and there is no evidence suggesting they were caused by any incident during service.
