- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's application for benefits under the VA Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was remanded due to inadequate notice and a pre-decisional duty to assist error. The case is now being reviewed with new evidence considered.
- Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for peripheral vestibular disorder and denied service connection for GERD, while granting service connection for patellofemoral pain syndrome in both the left and right knees.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matters for further development, including obtaining additional VA medical opinions to address the severity of the Veteran's service-connected conditions and entitlement to earlier effective dates.
