844 vetted Board decisions in 2005.
The Board has ordered further development in the veteran's claim for an increased evaluation for a lumbosacral strain with degenerative disc disease, currently evaluated as 20 percent disabling. The case is now REMANDED to the RO via the AMC for compliance with VCAA requirements and consideration of the new regulation changes.
The Board has granted service connection for residuals of lumbosacral strain and degenerative disc disease, L5-S1. Service connection was denied for right testicular pain.
The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection have been denied. The RO previously denied these claims, and no new evidence was presented to reopen any of the claims.
The veteran seeks an increased disability rating for his service-connected back disability, characterized as fibromyositis of the dorsal and lumbosacral muscles. The case is being remanded to secure a new VA examination and obtain additional medical records.
