Other conditions Board decisions

The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection of urinary incontinence due to a violation of a claims processing rule, specifically because the Veteran filed another VA Form 10182 appealing the same issue from the January 2020 rating decision while already choosing a Board appeal for that issue.

The Veteran's ratings for right hip strain, limitation of flexion and impairment of thigh were restored to 20 percent effective January 16, 2020.

The Board dismissed the appeal because it does not have jurisdiction to review the claim for payment of non-VA medical expenses incurred by the Veteran on March 16, 2020 under the VCCP.

The appeal is dismissed because the VA has already approved payment for non-VA medical services provided on September 1, 2020.

The Veteran's overpayment of VA pension benefits has been resolved and no longer exists, thus the appeal is dismissed.

The Board has dismissed the appeal as no case or controversy remains due to the withdrawal of representation and failure to contest the assigned effective dates for TDIU and DEA.

The Board denied an earlier effective date for nonservice-connected pension benefits, finding that the earliest possible effective date is June 13, 2019.

The Veteran's right eye disability with partial loss of vision is being remanded due to incomplete records and the need for a new VA medical opinion regarding whether the additional disability was proximately caused by carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, or similar instance of fault on the part of VA in furnishing surgical treatment.

The Veteran withdrew his appeal regarding the evaluation of 90 percent from September 19, 2019. As a result, the Board dismissed this issue.
