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 2002
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a skin disorder, arthralgia of multiple joints with fatigue and intermittent nausea and diarrhea, and tinnitus. The effective dates for these benefits were not granted as requested.
DeniedJanuary 2002
The Board has denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for PTSD, tinnitus, and bilateral hearing loss. The claim for TDIU is also addressed in a separate remand.
GrantedJanuary 2002
The Board finds that the veteran's right ear hearing disability is likely due to noise exposure in service, and grants service connection for this condition. The claim of service connection for left ear hearing loss is denied as there is no current evidence meeting VA compensation criteria. Service connection for tinnitus is granted.
