5,626 vetted Board decisions in 2018.

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.

DeniedJanuary 2018
The Board finds that the Veteran's current obstructive sleep apnea is not shown to be related to his service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder and thus denies the claim for service connection.
DismissedJanuary 2018
The Veteran's appeal has been withdrawn prior to the Board making a decision.
GrantedJanuary 2018
The Board finds that the evidence is at least in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea arose during his active duty military service. Service connection for obstructive sleep apnea is granted.
Remanded (sent back)January 2018
The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate opinions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's sleep apnea and his ability to work.
DeniedJanuary 2018
The Board found that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss is not related to his service, and denied his claim for service connection. The rating for lumbosacral strain was remanded due to inadequate examination.
DeniedJanuary 2018
The Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was not incurred in or aggravated by service and is denied.
