The veteran has withdrawn his appeal for service connection claims related to arthritis of the right big toe, a liver cyst, and a lymph node disorder.

The appellant withdrew her appeal regarding the apportionment of the veteran's benefits, resulting in the dismissal of the case.

The veteran's claim for nonservice-connected pension was denied as he does not meet the basic service eligibility requirements.

The Board found that the veteran's postoperative right foot bunion with hallux valgus produced impairment consistent with no more than moderate foot injury, and therefore denied a rating in excess of 10 percent.

The Board has determined that the veteran's varicose veins of the right leg do not warrant a rating higher than 10 percent, as they do not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation based on persistent edema or stasis pigmentation/eczema.

The Board has remanded the case due to the need for a VA medical opinion regarding whether the veteran's death was related to service or a service-connected condition, and because records from Dorothy McCormick Center and Tri-State Radiation Oncology are needed.
