Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities substantially contributed to his death, and therefore grants service connection for cause of death.
- Denied
The Veteran's appeals for increased evaluations for his right knee and ankle disabilities were denied. The TDIU claim is still pending.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case for further examination and opinion regarding whether a right ankle disability had its onset in service or was caused by an injury during service.
- Denied
The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of a fracture of the right ankle, a right wrist disability, a left wrist disability, a low back disability, and pseudofolliculitis barbae. The evidence does not support these claims as there is no current diagnosis or showing of such disabilities.
