- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's need for personal care services and whether participation in PCAFC would be beneficial. The VA will obtain an opinion from CEAT on these matters.
- Granted
The Veteran's initial claim for service-connected ischemic heart disease was granted with a 10% rating, which was later increased to 30%, and then to 60% effective August 14, 2025. The case is denied for an initial disability rating greater than 10 percent prior to August 10, 2015, and for a higher initial rating for diabetes mellitus, type II. Service connection was granted for renal insufficiency, but not for residuals of multiple fragment wounds of the left thigh.
- Granted
The Veteran's initial rating for CAD with renal insufficiency was denied prior to November 9, 2018. From November 9, 2018 to December 3, 2018, a 100% rating was granted. The Veteran is also entitled to a TDIU based on his service-connected heart and kidney conditions.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including diabetic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy of his lower extremities, rendered him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment prior to April 24, 2019. The Board granted the TDIU claim based on these conditions.
