191 vetted Board decisions in 2009
The Board denied service connection for asbestosis, the cause of death, and DEA benefits due to insufficient evidence linking these conditions to the veteran's military service.
The veteran's claims for service connection for a lung disorder due to asbestos exposure and a low back disorder are being remanded for additional development, including VA examinations.
The veteran's bilateral hearing loss was incurred in active service, and asbestosis was not incurred in or aggravated by active service.
The appeal was remanded for the veteran to be afforded a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge at his local RO.
The veteran's claims for service connection for asbestosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a left arm and shoulder disorder, a right ankle disorder and foot sprain, and right arm radiculopathy were denied. A higher initial rating for the service-connected bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was also denied.
