Other conditions Board decisions

The Board denied service connection for a skin condition of the bilateral feet, finding that there is no evidence to support the Veteran's claim that his current condition began during or was related to his military service.

The Veteran's daughter, SDJ, is recognized as a dependent for VA compensation purposes from September 2016 to January 2018 due to her pursuit of education and the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.

The Veteran is granted an effective date of September 10, 2014 for his total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected deep vein thrombosis. The Board found no factually ascertainable increase in disability during the year preceding September 10, 2014.

The Board has decided to remand the claims for adenomyosis and SMC based on loss of use due to duty to assist errors. The AOJ needs to develop possible exposures other than PCBs, including those mentioned in the Veteran's submissions, and schedule a VA examination.

The Board has determined that the termination of the Appellant's VA death pension benefits was made in error and should be reinstated. The appeal regarding the overpayment of $189,612.00 from the retroactive termination is dismissed as there is no justiciable case or controversy.

The Board denied service connection for a deformity of the penis, finding that there is no current evidence of such disability apart from the Veteran's service-connected erectile dysfunction.

The Veteran seeks reimbursement for lodging and meal expenses associated with travel on May 26, 2023. The VA treatment records indicate the Veteran was advised to avoid air travel due to his condition. VHA beneficiary travel denied the claim as no prior authorization was provided for lodging and meal expenses.

The Board has found that there has not been substantial compliance with the remand requests and thus, the case is being remanded for further development to ensure all pertinent evidence is obtained.

The appeal to reduce the disability rating for chronic urticaria, bilateral upper arms from 30 percent to noncompensable was dismissed as the Veteran withdrew his appeal.

The Board has decided to remand the case due to a predecisional error in adjusting the overpayment amount, and it is referred back to the Committee for consideration based on the adjusted amount.

The Board has remanded the case due to errors in the creation of the overpayment and whether it was solely an administrative error without the Veteran's knowledge.

The Veteran's accrued benefits were correctly calculated to be $1,527.00 and no further benefits are due to the appellant.

The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of an examination and medical opinion regarding the Veteran's claimed conditions, as these symptoms may be related to other non-service-connected disabilities.
