Knee Board decisions

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims due to new evidence submitted since the last decision. The AOJ must review this additional evidence and readjudicate the cases.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a disability of the bilateral lower extremities and a lung disorder, finding that there was no evidence linking these conditions to his military service.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment consistent with his level of education, prior work history and training.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient consideration of the Veteran's contention that his left knee disability is caused by overcompensation from his service-connected right knee.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded for further development due to the need for additional medical evidence and clarification of his disability ratings.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right knee disability, finding that there was no credible evidence linking his current condition to an in-service injury or event.

The Board has granted service connection for right and left knee disabilities, as well as right and left hip disabilities, all of which are found to be related to the Veteran's parachute jumps during active duty.

The Veteran's appeals for increased ratings on his right shoulder dislocation, right knee medial meniscus tear with osteoarthritis, and hypertension have been dismissed due to the Veteran opting for Higher-Level Review under the AMA.

The Veteran's appeals for initial increased ratings for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy have been dismissed. The appeal seeking service connection for a right knee condition, a right ankle condition, and an initial rating higher than 10 percent for lumbosacral strain has been remanded.

The Veteran's appeals for increased ratings and service connection are remanded due to the need for further development.,Service connection for hearing loss, prostate disorder, bladder disorder, and TDIU is also remanded.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection due to insufficient evidence and need for further examination. The right knee disability claim is related to a service-connected condition, while the PVD claim involves exposure to Agent Orange.

The Board has remanded the case due to additional development being required, including a vocational rehabilitation evaluation that assesses the Veteran's current limitations and their effect on his ability to perform in his occupational field. The issue of entitlement to VR&E benefits is still pending.

The Board has granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, but denied service connection for left and right knee disabilities.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim of service connection for a right knee disability, finding that there was no evidence to support a nexus between his current condition and his military service.

The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left knee disability, finding that his current condition is related to his active duty service.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection due to insufficient evidence and need for further examination. The issues include right knee, left knee, left ankle, psychiatric disabilities (including PTSD), and chronic fatigue syndrome.

The Board has granted service connection for osteopenia of the right shoulder, left wrist disability (including osteopenia and strain), osteoarthritis of the right knee, and a back disability. The evidence supports these determinations as there are medical opinions linking each condition to an in-service injury or incident.

The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate VA medical opinions regarding whether the Veteran's right knee condition pre-existed service and was not aggravated by service, whether his right knee condition is proximately due to or aggravated by a service-connected left knee disability.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's right and left knee disabilities did not begin during active service or are otherwise related to in-service injuries.,Both knees were treated for injuries, but no evidence supports a nexus between current conditions and service.
