Tuberculosis Board decisions

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for colon cancer and tuberculosis exposure due to a lack of evidence linking these conditions to his military service, specifically Agent Orange exposure. The veteran's current diagnoses were not established during service or linked to in-service exposures.

The Board denied the veteran's claims of service connection for pulmonary tuberculosis, right ulnar nerve injury, left eye nevus, and left ankle injury. The effective date was not established as requested.

The Board denied the appellant's claim for service connection for cause of death due to lack of new and material evidence. The VA Regional Office (RO) previously determined that PTB was not related to military service.

The Board denied a compensable evaluation for residuals of tuberculosis of the lumbar spine, finding no evidence of active disease and noting that the veteran's current degenerative disc disease does not relate to his service-connected tuberculosis.
