Scars decisions — 2016

803 vetted Board decisions in 2016.

Browse by year

New decisions are added every week, and older years are actively being backfilled — a year that looks thin or missing here (especially 2011–2017) is a gap in our library, not in the Board’s decisions.

DismissedJanuary 2016
The Veteran's appeals for a compensable rating for scars of the right forearm and right elbow, as well as service connection for a right forearm peripheral nerve injury and degenerative joint disease of the right great toe, have been withdrawn. The claims are therefore dismissed.
Remanded (sent back)January 2016
The Veteran's claim for service connection for internal hemorrhoids with external scarring is being remanded due to the need for a VA examination and additional medical records.
GrantedJanuary 2016
The Veteran's bilateral pes planus disabilities have been rated as 50 percent since January 25, 2013.
