Other conditions Board decisions

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for ulcerative colitis and cysts on liver due to insufficient rationale in the VA medical opinions provided. The Veteran is requested to be examined regarding his digestive conditions at least as likely as not caused or aggravated by exposure during Gulf War service.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for left and right hip strain due to insufficient medical opinions regarding whether these conditions are aggravated by her service-connected knee disabilities.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for neuroendocrine carcinoma and removal of intestine due to cancer are being remanded. The VA is required to schedule a TERA examination to determine if the cancers are related to service, including exposure to herbicides, and whether they originated as soft-tissue sarcomas.

The Veteran's appeal was dismissed due to their death, and no final decision can be made.

The Veteran's application to add his spouse M. to his VA disability compensation was denied due to insufficient evidence of her previous marriages and the required information being missing from the submitted documents.

The Board has determined that the overpayment of VA compensation benefits was not properly created due to administrative error on the part of VA, and thus grants a waiver of recovery for $8,715.89.

The appeal for non-VA medical services provided on March 24, 2020 is dismissed as the episode of care was approved and processed according to VA policy.

The Board has determined that the Appellant's pension benefits should be increased from $34 to $37 per month for the period May 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019 due to her income level. Benefits were terminated on January 1, 2020 as she exceeded the maximum annual pension rate.

The Board has determined that new and relevant evidence has been received sufficient to readjudicate the claim of entitlement to service connection for anemia. The Veteran's current disability is not entitled to presumptive service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(f) due to exposure at Camp Lejeune, but may be service-connected as a direct result of his military service. The Board has also determined that the AOJ committed duty-to-assist errors and remanded for further development including a VA medical examination.

The Veteran requested to cancel his hearing and withdraw his appeal, which the Board has now dismissed as the issue is no longer before them.

The Veteran withdrew his appeal, and the Board dismissed it due to lack of allegations of errors of fact or law.
