What this means for you
A grant means the Board allowed the benefit or issue identified in this decision. Review the original order: other issues in the same appeal may have a different outcome, and this decision does not predict another claim.
What you can do next

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, except for eczema and skin rash, are associated with his subsequent period of active duty after he received separation pay. Therefore, the appeal is granted as recoupment of the Veteran's separation pay in the amount of $13,271.16 is improper.
- Whole decision: Partly granted
The Board restored the 10 percent rating for GERD, denied increased ratings for other conditions, and remanded service connection claims.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various conditions due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as correctable evidence was not obtained and VA examinations were inadequate.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and an eye disorder, finding no evidence of current disability or in-service incurrence.
