The claims for stiffness and slowness of movement and tremors (previously claimed as Parkinson’s disease) are remanded.,The Veteran's service connection claims have resulted in mixed decisions: some issues were granted while others were denied.
The deciding factor: For ischemic heart disease, hypertension, insomnia with anger issues, sleep apnea, and gall bladder surgery, the evidence does not support a current diagnosis or a link to service. For stiffness and slowness of movement and tremors (previously claimed as Parkinson’s disease), additional medical examination is needed.
