2,404 vetted Board decisions in 2004.
The Board denied service connection for right hip, left knee, and bilateral calcaneal spurs disabilities due to lack of evidence linking these conditions to service.
The veteran is seeking service connection for his bilateral knee disability, which he claims was incurred during active duty. The case has been remanded due to incomplete records and the need for further medical examination.
The Board has determined that the veteran's current diagnosed conditions, including arthritis of multiple joints, are related to his service-connected shrapnel wounds and thus grants service connection for these disabilities.
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for left knee and shoulder disorders, as well as his request for a specific evaluation of hemorrhoids and mitral valve prolapse. The appeal was not about service connection at all.
