Other conditions Board decisions

The Board has dismissed the motion for CUE review because the motion was withdrawn.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral foot pain with muscle spasms was previously denied in May 2002 due to lack of evidence linking the condition to her active service. No new and material evidence has been received since that decision.

The Board found that the Veteran's allergic reactions to fire ant venom in service were acute and resolved without any current disability, thus denying service connection.

The Board has granted service connection for multiple residual disorders incurred in a motor vehicle accident, finding that the Veteran's injuries were not caused by his misconduct or negligence.

The Veteran seeks service connection for stomach disorder and dizziness, which he claims are secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus. The Board finds the VA medical opinions inadequate and remands the case for further examination and opinion.

The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim of service connection for bilateral defective hearing and granted it, finding that new evidence supports a link between his current hearing loss and military noise exposure.

The Veteran is seeking retroactive apportionment payments made to his children prior to April 1, 2009. The case has been remanded for further development of SSA records and readjudication.

The Veteran's service treatment records do not document any chronic complaints or a diagnosed disability of the left hip. Post-service medical evidence is also silent for any hip pathology at any point since his discharge from service. Therefore, there is no current disability to support a grant of service connection.

The Board found that the Veteran's preexisting left femur fracture residuals did not increase in severity during service and were not aggravated by military service. The current diagnosed condition of left knee degenerative joint disease with thigh pain and muscle weakness is not related to service.

The Board is reopening the claim for service connection for transverse myelitis due to new and material evidence. The other issues are remanded for further development.

The appellant is not recognized as the surviving spouse of the veteran due to her divorce from the veteran, and therefore, she cannot be eligible for death benefits.

The Board has determined that the appellant does not have recognized active military service for the purpose of obtaining the one-time payment from the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for his left little finger injury, right and left lower extremity compartment syndrome. The evidence did not show that these conditions warranted a compensable rating.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for a skin disorder, including a groin rash, is denied as there is no evidence of an in-service injury or disease and the current disability does not meet the criteria for presumptive service connection.

The Board has remanded the case due to the need for a VA examination and additional medical records, including those from Rhode Island Hospital where the Veteran is currently an inpatient. The Veteran's claim for service connection for HIV/AIDS will be reconsidered after these actions.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining SSA disability records and private treatment records from specific medical providers.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the inadequacy of a previous VA examination, and for further development including obtaining an x-ray report and arranging for a comprehensive orthopedic examination.

The Board has granted service connection for the Veteran's prostate disability and skin disease, finding that these conditions are related to his in-service symptoms. The evidence supports this conclusion.

The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have soft tissue sarcoma and therefore, service connection for this condition is denied.

The Board found that service connection is not warranted for neurosyphilis and transverse myelitis with neurogenic bladder as the preponderance of evidence does not support a link to active duty service or a service-connected disability.
