Other conditions decisions — 2025

The Board denied service connection for chronic myelogenous leukemia, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the Veteran's condition and his military service, including exposure to herbicide agents.

The Board remands the issue of a TDIU rating due to a duty to assist error, as the Veteran was not given proper notice regarding the TDIU application.

The Board remands the matter for further development, specifically to issue a Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) regarding the claim of entitlement to service connection on an other than presumptive basis for eye conditions, also claimed as vision impairment (excluding horseshoe retinal tear of the right eye).

The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for the Veteran's cognitive disorder and granted an initial 10 percent rating for left-hand tremors, while remanding the issue of an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for left upper extremity neuralgia of the radial nerve.

The Board granted service connection for right hand tremors, finding that they are secondary to the Veteran's service-connected shoulder disability.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation since May 18, 2004.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment, leading to the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) effective March 10, 2016.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including left shoulder separation and residuals of a fracture in the left foot, rendered him incapable of securing or following substantially gainful employment from December 16, 2008.

The Veteran withdrew the appeal, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review the appeal.

The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the remaining amount of $12,542.48.

The appeal was dismissed because the December 2023 VA Form 10182 sought to appeal a non-final higher-level review return action, which is not an appealable decision.

The Veteran's service-connected heart disability results in his need for the regular aid and attendance of another person, thus granting special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need of regular aid and attendance.

The Veteran withdrew her appeal for VR&E benefits, including pursuit of an EMBA at a specified institution.
