Other conditions Board decisions

The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in the March 1946 rating decision denying service connection for right eye enucleation. The veteran's claim was reopened, and he is now entitled to a 10% disability rating effective January 27, 1992. However, his total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities remains denied.

The veteran's lung disorder is not service-connected as it is not one of the diseases subject to presumptive service connection based on Agent Orange exposure. The claim will be remanded for further development, including obtaining evidence of actual Agent Orange exposure and medical evidence linking his current lung condition to such exposure.

The Board has determined that recovery of the overpayment would be against equity and good conscience, thus granting the appellant's request for waiver.

The case is being remanded for further review of the appellant's claim, including consideration of a waiver of recovery of debts and scheduling a videoconference hearing before the Board.

The Board has determined that the adopted children, VL and WL, meet all criteria to be recognized as the veteran's adoptive children for VA purposes.

The Board denied the appellant's claim for basic eligibility for VA benefits due to a lack of verified service in the United States Armed Forces.

The Board denied the appellant's request to reopen her claim for basic eligibility for VA benefits due to lack of new and material evidence.

The Board has denied the veteran's claim for service connection for prostatitis, as there is no evidence of a chronic condition during his second period of service and insufficient medical records to establish a relationship between current prostatitis and service.

The Board has granted a 20 percent evaluation for the veteran's service-connected compression fracture of T9 and T10, finding that it meets the criteria for such an increase in rating.

The Board found that the appellant's discharge for bad conduct was due to willful and persistent misconduct, thus constituting a bar to payment of benefits.

The Board found that the loan guaranty indebtedness was validly established and has been correctly calculated. The consideration of waiver of recovery is not precluded due to misrepresentation by the veteran in obtaining the loan.

The Board has determined that recovery of the overpayment would not be against equity and good conscience, thus granting a waiver for the veteran.

The Board has determined that service connection should have been granted for the veteran's nervous disorder at the time of their March 1986 decision, and thus vacated subsequent decisions denying new and material evidence.

The Board has determined that the appellant first manifested reactive hypoglycemia during service and finds in favor of granting service connection for this condition.

The Board determined that the veteran did not engage in bad faith and therefore waived recovery of the VA loan guaranty indebtedness.

The veteran's overpayment of improved pension benefits was waived due to the financial hardship it would cause, and there was not significant fault on his part in creating the overpayment.
