- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claims for service connection for the residuals of a hysterectomy and migraines have been remanded due to new evidence submitted since the July 2018 rating decision. The Board found that the Veteran has provided new and relevant evidence sufficient to reconsider her claims.
- Granted
The Board has granted earlier effective dates for service connection of colon cancer, diabetes mellitus type II, residuals of a hysterectomy, and diabetic neuropathies of the upper and lower extremities. The claims are remanded for further action on TDIU and SMC.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for residuals of a hysterectomy and skin disability affecting the bilateral feet, as these conditions are not attributable to active military service or secondary to any service-connected disabilities.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of a hysterectomy, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
