- Granted
The Veteran was awarded a TDIU rating effective from April 30, 2004 due to his service-connected disabilities. The effective date of April 30, 2003 is granted as he met the schedular criteria for a TDIU during this period.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to a scheduling issue for a videoconference hearing before a Veterans Law Judge.
- Partly granted
The Veteran's claims are mixed, with some issues granted and others denied. The low back disorder is granted on the merits, while other claims remain pending due to lack of new and material evidence.
- Denied
The Veteran's residuals of a left ankle fracture did not result from VA hospital care, medical or surgical treatment, or examination. The Board finds that the criteria for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 have not been met.
