Other conditions Board decisions

The Board denied service connection for colon cancer, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the condition and military service.

The Veteran did not serve one or more days during a wartime period, thus denying the claim for death pension benefits.

The Board found the appellant's request for waiver of overpayment was timely filed, and remanded it to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises (COWC) for further adjudication.

The Board found that the reduction in nonservice-connected pension benefits effective February 1, 2017 was proper and denied the appeal.

The Board has remanded the claims of service connection for right and left epicondylitis due to inadequate examination and opinion. The Veteran's testimony indicates he experienced pain in his arms during service while steering a Gama Goat, but the VA examiner found it less likely than not that these conditions were incurred or related to service.

The Board has remanded the cases for additional development and opinion regarding the Veteran's sleep disorder, CVA, and dysarthria. The claims are otherwise denied.

The appellant is not eligible for additional accrued benefits as he does not meet the legal definition of a child for VA purposes. The amount awarded ($927.68) has already been reimbursed to him.

The Board has remanded the claims for service connection of bilateral upper extremity disorders due to a lack of an opinion on whether these conditions were aggravated by service-connected disabilities.

The Veteran's appeal for TDIU was dismissed as he withdrew his appeal before the Board could make a decision.

The Veteran's pension award is at the maximum allowable rate for a veteran with no dependents receiving nonservice-connected disability pension with special monthly pension payable at the aid and attendance rate. The appeal to increase his pension benefits has been denied as he is already in receipt of the maximum benefit.

The Veteran's appeal regarding his competency to handle disbursement of VA funds was dismissed as the restoration of competency is considered a full grant of benefits sought on appeal.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient medical opinions regarding whether the Veteran's right and left lower extremity neurological disorders are aggravated by his service-connected lumbosacral strain, and whether they are otherwise related to service.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for atrial fibrillation with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and residuals of malaria, finding that there was no evidence to support a link between these conditions and his military service.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's deviated septum was incurred during service and is granting service connection for this condition.

The Veteran's claim for special monthly pension (SMP) based on the need for aid and attendance was denied as there is no earlier effective date than December 11, 2019.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim as the overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits was properly created and he did not receive monetary benefits to which he was not entitled.

The Veteran's claim for TDIU was dismissed because the Board does not have jurisdiction over it due to concurrent elections.
