Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is remanded due to the need for a VA examiner's opinion regarding whether his service-connected disabilities result in loss of use and if so, whether he requires aid and attendance without considering such disability/ies. The Veteran also needs to be considered for SMC R1 based on the need for regular aid and attendance.
- Dismissed
The Board has dismissed the appeals for service connection of low back and right knee disabilities due to improper filing deadlines.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation during the period on appeal.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected back disability and left ankle disability rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation starting from April 4, 2017.
