Skin conditions (dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis) Board decisions

The Veteran's tinnitus was granted service connection. The skin disorder claim for folliculitis is denied as there is no evidence of a current disability. Service connection for the lung disorder (asbestosis and COPD) secondary to asbestosis is remanded due to incomplete medical records.

The Veteran's skin disability was not incurred in or aggravated by active service. The Board found no diagnosed skin disorder related to herbicide exposure and no continuity of symptomatology following his period of service.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not meet the criteria for financial assistance in acquiring an automobile and adaptive equipment or adaptive equipment only.

The Veteran's claim for continuation of vocational rehabilitation training was denied as she had already been rehabilitated and employed in an occupation related to her program.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for psoriasis and peripheral vascular disease (PVD), finding no evidence of a nexus to service or presumptive exposure to herbicides.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection due to insufficient evidence and need for further examination.

The Board has remanded the case for further development due to inadequate medical opinions regarding the nature and etiology of the appellant's skin conditions, including seborrheic dermatitis, tinea cruris, and pruritus. The claims are also being remanded for consideration of whether there is new and material evidence to reopen service connection claims.

The VA has determined that the appellant's service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from obtaining and retaining substantially gainful employment.

The Board has denied the appellant's claims for service connection for psoriasis, arthritis, Thompson's myotonia, chronic left knee disability, and chronic right knee disability. The evidence did not show any current disabilities or a link to service.

The Board has ordered a remand due to the need for additional medical opinions regarding the relationship between the Veteran's in-service skin complaints and his current diagnoses, including tinea pedia.

The VA determined that the Veteran's service-connected irritant/contact dermatitis does not warrant a compensable rating as it is intermittent and requires only topical treatment.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for further evaluation and consideration of his acne condition, as the current record does not provide sufficient information to determine the appropriate rating.

The Veteran's claims for service connection were denied as his claimed conditions are not related to his military service or herbicide exposure.

The Board has granted service connection for impotence, keratosis pilaris, xerosis, and superficial folliculitis as due to an undiagnosed illness.

The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for hypertension, fatigue, shortness of breath, peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities, tinea pedis and tinea capitis, and headaches as they are not related to his military service or a service-connected disability.

The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for acne and a right knee disorder due to lack of evidence showing current disabilities or in-service disease or injury.

The Veteran's Type II diabetes mellitus, Chloracne, and Coronary artery disease are all found to be related to his military service. The Board granted the claims for these conditions.

The Veteran's claim for a total rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities was denied as his combined disability rating is less than the threshold requirements for TDIU.

The Veteran seeks service connection for psoriasis, which he contends is due to herbicide exposure. The case is being remanded as the Board must consider all theories of entitlement and determine if there is a direct relationship between his current condition and service.

The Board has remanded the case to the RO for further development, including obtaining a VA examination and considering the Veteran's claims for service connection on both direct and secondary (including by aggravation) basis.
