Other conditions decisions — 2008

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development of evidence regarding the timeliness of the request for a waiver.

The appellant is not eligible for VA DIC benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1318 or non-service connected death pension benefits because her marriage to the veteran does not meet the requirements of 38 C.F.R. § 3.54(c).

The veteran's claim for service connection for neuroma of the third interspace of the right foot was denied as there is no evidence linking the condition to his in-service injury.

The veteran is not eligible for nonservice-connected disability pension because his period of service does not include a period of war.

The veteran's claim for service connection for testicular atrophy was not established until December 23, 2005, and thus the earliest effective date is that date.

The appeal is remanded for additional development, including a VA examination to determine the current severity of the veteran's service-connected ulcerative colitis.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the service connection claim for dental trauma, claimed as missing teeth and painful dentures.

The appeal is remanded to the Board of Veterans' Appeals for additional development, including obtaining new medical evidence and scheduling an additional VA examination.

The case is remanded for further development, including a new examination to determine if the veteran has post-polio syndrome and whether any current residuals are related to service.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for additional disability of the left eye due to a left eye injury incurred as a result of surgery and treatment on and after December 6, 2004.

The appeal is remanded for further development and medical evaluation to determine the nature, extent, and etiology of any currently existing vascular disorder.

The appeal was dismissed due to the death of the appellant.

The Board found that the veteran did not have any additional disability of the back or hips as a result of VA hospitalization in June 1996.

The Board found that the veteran's spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 with spina bifida occulta and bilateral pes cavus were congenital defects that pre-existed his military service, and there was no evidence of additional disability due to aggravation during service.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the claim for Dependent's Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits under Chapter 35, Title 38, United States Code.

The veteran's claims for increased ratings were remanded to schedule a videoconference hearing.

The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in the June 1985 decision that denied service connection for the cause of the veteran's death.

The veteran's low back disability did not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 20 percent prior to March 21, 2000, and did not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 40 percent since that date.

The veteran's claims to reopen for service connection for arthritis of the back, an upper respiratory disorder, and a disability manifested by hemorrhage were denied as new and material evidence was not received.

The veteran withdrew the appeal for an increased evaluation of his low back disability before a decision was made.
