Other conditions Board decisions

The appellant was found not to have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, and therefore is not eligible for VA benefits.

The veteran's household income falls below the 'low income' threshold established by HUD for Randolph County, Missouri, and he agreed to pay co-payments, thus meeting eligibility criteria for enrollment in VA healthcare benefits.

The veteran's adjustment disorder with depressed mood does not warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent.

The veteran's income exceeded the established limit for non-service connected disability pension benefits.

The Board denied a rating in excess of 30% for residuals of a right tibia and fibula compound fracture, as the veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The evidence submitted was not new and material, and the claim for basic eligibility for VA death benefits was denied.

The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral chronic orchialgia with history of epididymitis, as there was no evidence of complete atrophy of one or both testis.

The veteran's claim for service connection for emphysema claimed as due to exposure to noxious gas or asbestos is being remanded for further development.

The appeal is being remanded to the RO for issuance of a supplemental statement of the case.

The veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred from April 27, 2005 to April 29, 2005 was denied because a VA facility was feasibly available and an attempt to use it beforehand would not have been considered unreasonable.

The veteran's claims for reimbursement of transportation and medical expenses were denied as the services rendered were not in connection with a medical emergency, and VA did not provide authorization.

The appeal was dismissed due to the death of the appellant during its pendency.

The appellant submitted a timely Notice of Disagreement to the decision denying educational assistance benefits for attendance at the Restoration Christian Church.
