Other conditions Board decisions

The Board has decided the case and has ordered a remand for further development regarding the Veteran's claim of service connection for a sleep disorder, including insomnia.

The Board denied compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 because the Veteran's additional disability was not caused by VA's failure to provide a colonoscopy, and there was no fault on VA's part.

The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate examination and opinion regarding whether the Veteran's left heel condition was aggravated by his service-connected left knee disability.

The Veteran's initial claim for an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for service-connected cubital tunnel syndrome of the left elbow/hand was denied. From October 21, 2019, forward, a separate 10 percent evaluation for limitation of motion of the left long finger is granted.

The Board dismissed the appeals for eligibility in acquiring special adapted housing, a home adaptation grant, and financial assistance for an automobile due to the appellant's withdrawal of his appeal.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding service connection for myelodysplastic syndrome, including a lack of confirmation of in-service chemical exposure.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a waiver of overpayment and found that the creation of the debt was proper, but recovery would not be against equity and good conscience due to the Veteran's fault in creating the debt.

The Veteran's personnel records show he worked in various roles related to missile control communications equipment repair, but VA did not obtain his DD Form 1141 or pursue dose assessment based on claimed exposure. Further development is needed including obtaining the DD Form 1141 and following VA regulatory criteria for claims based on radiation exposure.

The Veteran's hoarseness as a residual of cancer of the larynx is granted with a rating of 60 percent, effective from the date of the decision. The claim for diabetes mellitus type II with erectile dysfunction remains denied.
