Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for a heart disorder, right knee disorder, osteoporosis, pituitary brain tumor, and skin cancer as the evidence did not show that these conditions were causally or etiologically related to any disease, injury, or incident in service.
- Denied
The Veteran's appeals for increased ratings and service connection were denied. The rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD, compensable rating for osteoporosis, and service connection for a left knee disability are all denied.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for L2 and L4 compression fracture with kyphoplasty and osteoporosis, as these conditions were not incurred in or aggravated by active military service or as secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II.
- Denied
The veteran died of multiple cerebrovascular accidents, Parkinson's disease, pulmonary fibrosis, aspiration pneumonia, dysphagia, osteoporosis, and confusion and hallucinations. Service connection for the cause of death has not been established, nor did the veteran have a service-connected disability rated at 100% at the time of his death. Therefore, the claim for dependents' education assistance benefits under Chapter 35 is denied.
