Other conditions Board decisions

The Veteran's service does not meet the requirements for basic eligibility to nonservice-connected pension benefits.

The Veteran was not eligible for reimbursement under the Millennium Bill Act as he had not received medical services under authority of 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17 within the 24-month period preceding the furnishing of emergency treatment.

The Board found that the veteran's ulcerative colitis pre-existed service and was not aggravated during active duty.

The appeal was dismissed due to the death of the appellant, and the Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of this claim.

The veteran's claims for service connection for a neck disorder and left hip disorder were remanded to obtain additional evidence, including workman's compensation records and in-service treatment records.

The appeal is remanded for additional development, including an adequate medical examination to address the relationship between the veteran's service-connected clavicle fractures and his current shoulder complaints.

The Board found that the preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding that the veteran's death was related to service, including as related to his service-connected PTSD or the exacerbation of his substance abuse by that PTSD.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a back and neck disorder as there was no evidence of chronic disability during service or continuity of symptomatology, and the first diagnosis was not until many years after discharge.

The Board denied service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death as there was no evidence that his service-connected disabilities caused or contributed substantially to his death.

The Board determined that the Veteran's character of discharge for his period of active service from February 26, 1965 to December 16, 1970 was a bar to eligibility for VA benefits regarding claims for service connection for various conditions.

The Veteran's service-connected residuals of an injury to the left great toe are rated as 10 percent disabling effective October 14, 2005. The Board granted a 10 percent rating for pain and tenderness on motion of the left great toe but found that a higher rating was not warranted.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for quadriparesis, to include loss of use of hands and loss of control of bowels, as the proximate cause of the disability was not due to carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or similar instance of fault on the part of the Department in furnishing the surgical treatment.
