63 vetted Board decisions in 2005
The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for diabetes, glaucoma, and osteoarthritis of the left foot with hallux valgus as there is no evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The veteran's service-connected disabilities do not meet the criteria for financial assistance in the purchase of an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment, as his actual functional use of his ankles/feet is not so ineffective that it could be equally well served by an amputation.
The Board has determined that the veteran's bilateral foot disability, including post-operative scars on both feet, does not warrant a higher rating or compensation for additional service-connected disabilities.
