Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Dismissed
The appeal for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for lumbosacral spine strain is dismissed. The reduction of the ratings for left and right knee limitations of extension are found to be improper, and the original ratings are restored.
- Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for left upper extremity radiculopathy was granted in May 2013 with an effective date of July 10, 2008. The Board found that the proper effective date is the date of receipt of claim or the date entitlement arose, whichever is later.
- Partly granted
The Board has reopened the appellant's service connection claim for the cause of the veteran's death due to new and material evidence submitted since the December 2000 decision. However, the preponderance of the evidence does not support a finding that any service-connected disability caused or contributed substantially or materially to the cause of the veteran's death.
- Remanded (sent back)
The veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development, including a neurological examination to determine if his service-connected cervical strain disability includes any neurologic manifestations.
