The appellant is not eligible for reinstatement of DIC benefits as the remarried widow of a veteran as a matter of law.

The veteran's residuals of a tonsillectomy are manifested by complaints of recurrent cough and hoarseness without inflammation of cords or mucous membranes, and therefore do not warrant a compensable rating.

The claim for payment or reimbursement of unauthorized emergency medical expenses was denied due to the failure to file a timely claim within 90 days after discharge from the private hospital.

The Board denied the petition to reopen the claim for basic eligibility for VA Dependency and Indemity Compensation (DIC) benefits, as new and material evidence was not received.

The appeal is remanded to facilitate proper notice under the VCAA and to permit initial adjudication of the appellant's varied allegations both as to her claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death and for accrued benefits.

The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine if the veteran has an elbow disability and whether it is related to service.

The Board denied service connection for a nervous condition due to the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis and no in-service complaints or treatment.

The veteran is not eligible for reimbursement or payment of the cost of private medical care provided on December 31, 2006, at St. John Sapulpa Hospital in Salpulpa, Oklahoma.

The veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30 was denied because the application was received after the one-year period from the date of training.

The veteran's stomach condition was neither caused nor aggravated by his time in service, or by service-connected residuals of bilateral inguinal hernia repair.

The Court's September 2008 affirmance of the Board's January 2007 decision precludes the Board from addressing on the merits the appellant's October 2007 motion alleging CUE in the January 2007 Board decision; therefore, her motion must be dismissed.

The veteran's brachial plexopathy has been shown to cause mild neurological impairment of the right upper extremity, but an initial rating in excess of 20 percent is not warranted.

The appellant is not recognized as the veteran's lawful surviving spouse under Philippine law due to their close blood relationship, which makes their marriage void ab initio.

The appellant, who is the veteran's adult step son, was denied entitlement to accrued benefits as he did not qualify as a child of the veteran and there was no evidence that he bore the expenses of the veteran's last sickness or burial.

The veteran's skin condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating at any point, and the April 1955 rating decision was found to be correct based on the evidence available.
