Other conditions Board decisions

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development of the veteran's claim regarding his eligibility for extended educational benefits under Chapter 1606, Title 10, United States Code.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a bilateral foot disability as there was no medical evidence linking his current condition to his military service.

The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of TDIU benefits, finding that it was not factually ascertainable prior to April 3, 1996, that the veteran was unemployable due to his service-connected schizophrenia.

The veteran's claim for service connection for a colon disorder was denied as there is no evidence of a chronic disability in service or continuity of symptomatology, and the medical evidence does not link any current diagnosis to his military service.

The case is remanded for the veteran to be scheduled for a Travel Board hearing before a Veterans Law Judge.

The veteran failed to report for scheduled VA examinations, and his claim was denied due to this failure without good cause.

The appeal was denied as the veteran did not meet the schedular thresholds for entitlement to TDIU and was found to be able to maintain and secure gainful employment.

The Board concluded that the veteran's residuals of right thigh gunshot wound did not warrant a rating higher than 40 percent.

The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for rectal fistula with incontinence and denied entitlement to TDIU.

The veteran's rectal fistula with incontinence was rated at 30 percent from April 10, 2002 to September 25, 2006 and increased to 60 percent effective September 26, 2006. The veteran is not entitled to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for scheduling a video conference hearing with a Veterans Law Judge of the Board.

The veteran's request for assistance from the Independent Living Services program was denied as it was determined that the achievement of a vocational goal is not currently feasible and the requested items are not necessary to assist him in functioning more independently.

The appeal is remanded for additional development, including VCAA notice and a new VA examination.

The Board denied the appellant's claims to reopen as new and material evidence was not submitted.

The veteran's service-connected disabilities have not rendered him unemployable under VA guidelines.

The appellant, who is 60 years old and not a child of the veteran as defined by VA law, was denied recognition for survivor's benefits.

The Board found that the evidence submitted was not new and material, and therefore did not serve to reopen the claim to establish eligibility for VA benefits.

The appeal was dismissed for lack of standing as the appellant, who is the veteran's surviving spouse, does not have legal standing to pursue an appeal regarding a decision that pertained to the veteran.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for scheduling a Travel Board hearing.

The veteran withdrew the appeal, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review it.
