The Board has dismissed the appeals for payment of medical services provided by Aegis Sciences Corporation on September 3, 2020, September 17, 2020, and October 1, 2020, as these services were authorized through the Veterans Community Care Program (VCCP) and governed by statutory and contractual authority that does not allow for review by the Board.

The Veteran requested to withdraw their appeal, and the Board has dismissed it due to lack of allegations of errors in the determination.

The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for adding his daughter as a dependent due to service-connected disabilities was denied because he did not meet the threshold rating criteria prior to October 25, 2020. The effective date is set at October 25, 2020.

The Board has granted service connection for adjustment mood disorder as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities. Service connection for neurogenic bladder is remanded due to conflicting medical evidence.

The Veteran's waiver request for overpayment of VA compensation benefits was denied as the Veteran was at fault for not promptly informing VA following his divorce, and recovery would not result in undue hardship.
