Other conditions Board decisions

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left leg disability, finding that there is not sufficient evidence to establish a nexus between his in-service injury and current symptoms.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded due to the need for a new VA examination to assess the current severity of his service-connected chronic back strain, including during flare-ups and after repeated use over time.

The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of consideration of updated VA treatment records and the need for a Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC).

The appeal was dismissed due to the death of the appellant, and no service connection issues were decided.

The Board found that the overpayment of $14,156.70 was validly created due to the Veteran's incarceration for a felony conviction and that VA was not solely responsible for the erroneous payment.
