Skin conditions (dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis) Board decisions

The Board denied service connection for a left ankle disorder and granted a 10% rating for psoriasis since October 22, 2014. The denial was based on the lack of current disability for the left ankle disorder and insufficient evidence to support an increased rating for psoriasis.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for spinal meningitis with brain damage and pseudofolliculitis barbae were denied as new and material evidence was not received. The Veteran's claim for bilateral hearing loss, hypertension, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and TDIU are remanded.

The Veteran's claims for service connection are being remanded due to the need for additional examinations and evaluations.

The Board has remanded all issues on appeal due to the need for additional VA examinations and records, including private treatment records from various hospitals and SSA disability benefits records. The Veteran's claims include service connection for heart disorders, stroke residuals, bilateral lower extremity disorders, and other conditions.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims due to inadequate examinations and missing medical records. The issues include rating for lumbosacral strain, service connection for radiculopathy in both lower extremities, dermatitis or eczema, and hypertension.

The Board has reopened the Veteran's claims for erectile dysfunction and eczema, dermatitis, and erythema multiforme (claimed as a skin condition), but dismissed the remaining issues due to withdrawal of appeal. The TDIU claim is also remanded.

The Board dismissed the appeals seeking service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease, erectile dysfunction, neurological conditions, an anxiety disorder, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and major depressive disorder.

The Veteran's claims are being remanded for additional development, including obtaining relevant VA and private medical records and scheduling the Veteran with a VA examination to assess his service-connected back, left thigh (claimed as left femur fracture), right shoulder, residual scars, and tinea versicolor disabilities.

The Veteran's skin condition, specifically dermatitis, requires further clarification regarding the use of immunosuppressive medications. The case is being remanded for additional medical evaluation and development.

The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of a supplemental statement of the case (SSOC) addressing new evidence. The Veteran's claim for service connection for dermatitis will be reconsidered.

The Veteran's pseudotumor cerebri, TBI, and bilateral carpel tunnel (previously claimed as bilateral hand numbness) are all granted service connection. The skin condition is remanded for further examination.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to incomplete VA treatment records, particularly for the claimed conditions of pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) and kidney disorder. Additionally, a VA examination is needed to determine if hypertension is related to service.

The Veteran's eczema of the hands is granted an initial rating of 10 percent. The right knee disability claim is denied.

The Veteran's claims for hypertension, contact dermatitis, TBI residuals, gastrointestinal disorder, PTSD, shoulder disorders, hemorrhoids, cervical spine disability, migraine headaches, vision loss, testosterone imbalance, wrist and hand disorders, hip disorders, and insomnia are all remanded. Additionally, his claim for an increased rating for degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, radiculopathy of the right and left lower extremities, a residual head injury scar, tinnitus, and bilateral hearing loss is also remanded. His TDIU claim is also remanded.

The Board has remanded several issues related to the Veteran's service connection claims, including hypertension, contact dermatitis, TBI, and gastrointestinal disorders. The Veteran also had his TDIU claim remanded.

The Board has remanded three issues: evaluating the Veteran's lumbar spine disability, eczema, and PTSD. The claims are being returned for further development.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for a sleep disorder and skin disorder, as well as his claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee sprain status post arthroscopy. The issues are being remanded due to inadequate VA examinations and need for additional medical evidence.

The Veteran's claim for an extension beyond August 31, 2015 for a temporary total rating due to right shoulder rotator cuff tendonitis disability following surgery was denied. The Veteran also met the criteria for TDIU based on his service-connected disabilities.
