Parkinson's disease Board decisions

The veteran's claim for an increased evaluation of his service-connected WPW syndrome was denied. The claim for service connection for CAD was also denied, and the TDIU claim is deferred due to its inextricability with the WPW syndrome claim.

The veteran's appeal is remanded for further development, including a VA examination to determine if he has additional disability as a result of the June 2001 treatment at a VA facility and whether any such disability was due to carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or other instance of fault on the part of VA.

The Board found that the veteran's WPW syndrome was not incurred or aggravated by active service and denied her claim.

The Board found that the evidence did not establish a link between the veteran's Parkinson's disease and his time in service, thus denying the claim.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's Disease, hyperlipidemia, and PTSD as they were not incurred or aggravated in service.

The Board found new and material evidence to reopen the claim of service connection for Parkinson's disease, but concluded that there is no evidence linking the veteran's current condition to his active service.

The VA determined that the veteran does not meet the criteria for special monthly pension based on need for aid and attendance or being housebound due to his Parkinson's disease, diabetes mellitus, and early cataracts.

The veteran's claim for an increased evaluation of his service-connected heart disability was remanded due to the need for a VA examination and opinions regarding the relationship between his service-connected condition and any new findings.

The Board granted service connection for Parkinson's disease, PTSD, diabetic neuropathy of the left and right lower extremities, hypertension, and IBS. The initial evaluations were assigned based on the severity of each condition.

The Board has denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death, finding that Parkinson's disease did not result from any incident or condition during active military service and is unrelated to his service-connected disabilities.

The Board has ordered the RO to contact Dr. Parikh for further information on the veteran's cardiovascular treatment and remand the case for readjudication.

The Board has determined that the veteran's death was not caused by a service-connected disability, and no new evidence has been submitted to reopen claims for left and right knee disabilities or bronchitis.

The Board found that the veteran's death was not caused by or substantially contributed to by a disability incurred in service, and thus denied both the cause of death claim and the DIC under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1318 claim.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development, including scheduling a VA examination and issuing a Statement of the Case on his service connection claim.

The veteran's service-connected anxiety disorder is found to have contributed substantially or materially to his death, warranting service connection for the cause of his death.

The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete service medical records and the need for additional Social Security Administration records.

The veteran's wife has withdrawn her appeal regarding the service connection for Parkinson's disease, which she claimed was secondary to a head wound injury. The Board dismissed the appeal due to this withdrawal.

The Board has granted the veteran's claims of service connection for Parkinson's disease and osteoarthritis, finding that both conditions are related to his military service.

The VA denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, Parkinson's disease, a back disability, and a skin disability. The denial is based on the lack of evidence supporting these conditions as being related to active military service.

The veteran's degenerative arthritis of the lumbar spine is granted service connection. Parkinson's disease, hand and body tremors (not related to Parkinson's), and an acquired psychiatric disability are denied as not incurred in or aggravated by service.
