Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)

- Dismissed
The Board dismissed the readjudication of service connection for healed fracture of the fibula, right leg, as it was already granted in a previous decision. Service connection for prostate cancer is not warranted due to lack of new and relevant evidence.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
