Peripheral neuropathy Board decisions

The veteran's claim for a higher rating for his service-connected autonomic neuropathy is being remanded due to inadequate development of the record, including an incomplete VA examination.

The Board has remanded the claims for additional development due to conflicting opinions regarding service connection for peripheral neuropathy, hypertension, and skin disabilities related to herbicide exposure.

The Board denied service connection for peripheral neuropathy in both upper extremities and the TDIU claim prior to July 12, 2011. The Veteran's disabilities alone did not render him unemployable at that time.

The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for hypertension and peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral upper and lower extremities due to insufficient medical opinions regarding their etiology.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral upper extremities, and peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral lower extremities, finding that there was no evidence linking these conditions to his active service or any related exposure.
