Other conditions Board decisions

The Veteran withdrew her appeal for VA educational benefits under Chapter 30, and the Board has dismissed the case as a result.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining clinical records and conducting a social and industrial survey to determine if the Veteran's service-connected narcolepsy is a determining factor in his inability to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded for additional development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling examinations to determine the current severity of his service-connected disabilities.

The Veteran's service is not considered wartime service, and therefore does not meet the threshold eligibility requirements for VA pension benefits.

The Veteran's service is not considered to meet the requirements for eligibility for nonservice-connected pension benefits due to a lack of qualifying active duty service.

The Veteran's service is not considered for the purpose of entitlement to nonservice-connected death pension benefits. The appellant did not file her claim within the required time period and thus, accrued benefits are denied.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for a new VA examination to address the nature and severity of his service-connected disabilities, including whether there are associated knee or ankle impairments with his left distal fibula fracture. The RO will also consider whether a rating under Diagnostic Code 5262 is appropriate based on disability of the knee or ankle.

The Veteran's claim for a one-time payment from the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund is denied as he does not meet the requirements of veteran status.

The Board has determined that the appellant is not the Veteran's surviving spouse for purposes of obtaining VA benefits.

The Board has dismissed the appeal due to the appellant's withdrawal of his appeal.

The Board has denied the appellant's claim for one-time payment from the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund due to a certification by the service department that the appellant did not have the requisite military service.

The Board has ordered the case to be remanded for further development and consideration due to issues regarding the creation of a Veteran's overpayment of VA educational assistance benefits.

The Board found that the appellant submitted a completed VA Form 51-534 for death benefits in September 2009, and thus granted an effective date of September 21, 2009.

The Veteran withdrew his appeal for the issue of entitlement to a rating in excess of 60 percent for bronchial asthma, on and after November 19, 2007. The case is dismissed.

The Board found that the overpayments were not based on sole VA administrative error, and thus the debts were valid. The appellant's fault in creating these debts was considered to outweigh any potential VA fault.

The Board found that there is no evidence of a hiatus hernia, gastrointestinal and stomach and/or throat symptoms during service or related to service. The claim for left knee disorder was remanded.

The Board found that the Veteran's nerve damage of both lower extremities was not incurred or aggravated by service, and is not proximately caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability.

The Board found that the Veteran does not have a current disability, including cerebral atrophy, related to his military service. The VA examiner concluded that there is no evidence of a cognitive disorder in service and that the events during service did not cause the Veteran's current condition.

The Board has remanded the case due to a procedural issue regarding representation, and further development is needed before a decision can be made.

The Board found no evidence that the Veteran's left leg condition is related to service or a service-connected disability, and denied his claims for service connection.
