New decisions are added every week, and older years are actively being backfilled — a year that looks thin or missing here (especially 2011–2017) is a gap in our library, not in the Board’s decisions.

DeniedJanuary 2017
The Veteran's claimed conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, cranial nerve pain, headaches, ruptured testicle, muscle fasciculations, chronic lymphoid hyperplasia, stomach disorder, and COPD, were not shown to be related to service or any incident therein. The Board finds that the evidence does not support a finding of service connection for these conditions.
DismissedJanuary 2017
The Board has dismissed the appeal of entitlement to a 10 percent evaluation based on multiple noncompensable service-connected disabilities as moot due to the grant of compensable evaluations for the Veteran's knee disabilities and scars.
