Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for malaria as there was no evidence of active malaria or any current residuals affecting a bodily system.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA examination found that the Veteran's malaria is inactive with no current symptoms or residuals, and all diagnostic testing has remained negative for any active malaria.
