644 vetted Board decisions in 2026.
The Veteran's appeals for service connection for prostate cancer and an earlier effective date for end stage renal failure with dialysis have been dismissed due to his death. The Board cannot adjudicate the merits of these claims as he has passed away.
The Veteran's claims for service connection for TTP, amyloidosis, and prostate cancer were denied as they are not supported by evidence showing a causal relationship to service prior to the PACT Act of August 10, 2022.
The Board has decided to remand the Veteran's claims for service connection for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected prostate cancer due to a duty to assist error. The Veteran was not provided with necessary VA examinations, and his BPH may be related to his prostate cancer.
The Veteran's prostate cancer, including its residuals from a radical prostatectomy, is granted as service-connected due to presumed exposure to herbicide agents during his service in or near the Korean DMZ.
