- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities, finding that he does not require regular aid and assistance from another person as a result of these conditions.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for a low back condition and dismissed the appeal for sarcoidosis.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for sarcoidosis, finding that the Veteran's sarcoidosis is not causally or etiologically related to his military service and did not manifest within one year of separation from service.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for a left knee disability and denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea. The initial rating for the service-connected sarcoidosis remains at noncompensable (0%) due to lack of evidence showing more than minimal impairment.
