- Denied
The Veteran's loss of right testicle was not caused by VA's failure to exercise the expected degree of care, negligence, or lack of proper skill. The event (testicular ischemia) was reasonably foreseeable.
- Denied
The Veteran's initial compensable rating for loss of the right testicle is denied, and his TDIU is also denied.
- Granted
The Veteran's loss of a right testicle is granted compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151, and the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability (including PTSD and depression) is remanded.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has dismissed the appeals for service connection for an eye disorder and bilateral hearing loss. The remaining issues of service connection for various disabilities are remanded for further development.
