Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board granted an increased disability evaluation of 100 percent for service-connected malaria, finding the evidence to be in approximate equipoise as to whether the Veteran's malaria was active during the appeal period.
- Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication for the claims of service connection for left foot hallux valgus and tinea versicolor, but denied the claims for tinea corporis, tinea cruris, carbuncle, cyst, and scarring secondary to tinea versicolor.
- Denied
The Board denied the claims for increased rating and service connection as there was no evidence of a link between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his period of active service.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for malaria, including residuals, as there is no current diagnosis of malaria or residuals.
