Shoulder Board decisions

The Board has denied the claim for DIC benefits as there is no legal basis for the claim or undisputed facts rendering the appellant ineligible.

The Board found that the Veteran's knee and shoulder disabilities were not incurred or aggravated during service, are not secondary to other service-connected disability, and denied both claims.

The Veteran's appeals were denied as new and material evidence was received for some claims, but no effective date adjustments were granted due to the nature of the appeal. The Veteran's conditions continue to be rated based on existing evidence.

The Veteran's claims for service connection were denied across multiple issues, including dermatitis, PTSD, hip and knee disabilities, muscle cramps, shoulder impingement, upper back condition, cervical spine syndrome (neck condition), low back disability, and ankle disability. The appeals are all now denied.

The Veteran's claims for rheumatoid arthritis, right knee disorder, left foot disorder, and left shoulder disorder were denied as there is no medical evidence showing current diagnoses or a link to service.

The Veteran's osteoarthritis of AC joint, chronic AC separation and rotator cuff strain, left shoulder is rated at 20 percent. The claim for an increased rating has been granted.

The Board found no evidence of a current diagnosis of bladder cancer and concluded that the Veteran's left shoulder disability was not incurred in service. The claim for bladder cancer is denied, while the claim for service connection for the left shoulder disability remains denied.

The Veteran's service-connected left shoulder disability is rated at 10 percent, and the Board finds that a higher rating is not warranted. The Veteran's left knee disorder was not incurred in or aggravated by his active duty military service.

The Board found that the Veteran's left shoulder disability did not begin during his period of active duty for training (ACDUTRA) and is not related to any service-connected conditions. The claim was denied.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for coronary artery disease and a disability affecting multiple joints, as secondary to his service-connected sarcoidosis. The evidence did not support these claims.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development and de novo consideration of his claims.

The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's claimed conditions, finding that there was no evidence of a current disability or a link to service.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's claimed conditions were not incurred or related to service, and therefore denied his claims for service connection.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including new VA examinations and the submission of a VA Form 646.

The Board has granted service connection for a right shoulder disorder manifested by pain, crunching and grating. Service connection was denied for residuals of status post-removal of moles.

The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current right shoulder disability and there is no evidence of such a condition during service. As such, the claim for service connection for a right shoulder condition is denied.

The Veteran's bilateral shoulder disability, carpal/cubital tunnel syndrome, and ulnar nerve condition are all found to be secondary to his service-connected cervical spine disability.

The Board has decided to remand the case for additional development due to missing service medical records and other issues.

The Veteran seeks service connection for multiple disabilities, including a torn rotator cuff of the right shoulder, right knee meniscus tear, chronic back disorder, and left leg disability. The appeal is being remanded to obtain additional medical opinions regarding the etiology of these conditions.

The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder disability and determined that new and material evidence had not been received to reopen the claim for service connection for a right knee disability.
