Other conditions decisions — 2008

The veteran's claim for nonservice-connected burial benefits was denied because the application was not received within two years of his burial.

The veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 20 percent for residuals of an shrapnel injury to MG VII is being remanded for additional development.

The veteran's claim for service connection for allergic reaction to bee and wasp stings is reopened, but the appeal for an increased rating for residuals of a right clavicle fracture is dismissed.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA pension benefits in the calculated amount of $4,096.

The appeal was denied because new and material evidence had not been received to reopen the claim for recognition as the surviving spouse of the veteran.

The appellant's discharge from active military service was other than honorable due to willful and persistent misconduct, which is considered dishonorable for VA purposes and bars the receipt of VA benefits.

The veteran's debt owed to VA is valid, and the Board finds that no waiver of overpayment is appropriate.

The Board denied the appellant's claim for VA death benefits because her deceased husband did not have qualifying service as a member of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, including recognized guerrillas, in the service of the United States Armed Forces.

The veteran's claim for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disability is being remanded for the scheduling of a videoconference hearing.

The veteran did not submit a timely appeal of the decision from August 2003 which denied multiple claims.

The veteran withdrew his appeal, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review it.

The veteran is not eligible for enrollment in the VA healthcare system as his completed application was received after January 17, 2003.

The veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) was dismissed due to the veteran's death.

The veteran's claim for special monthly pension based on the need for regular aid and attendance of another person or by reason of being housebound was remanded for a more thorough examination to determine if he meets the criteria.

The veteran is not eligible to receive reimbursement for the reasonable value of the treatment in question under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 1725.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the claim.

The Board remands the case for further development to obtain a medical opinion regarding whether the veteran's eye disabilities were aggravated by in-service surgeries.

The veteran is not precluded from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment as a result of his service-connected PTSD.

The Board denied service connection for right and left eye disabilities as there is no evidence that these conditions are related to the veteran's active duty service.

The appeal was dismissed due to the veteran's death.
