105 vetted Board decisions in 2018
The Board has determined that there is no evidence of herbicide exposure during service, and the Veteran's current disabilities are not related to his active duty. Service connection for type II diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, and visual impairment have been denied.
The Board denied service connection for glaucoma of the left eye as secondary to diabetes mellitus and a right eye disability, finding that there is no evidence showing that the Veteran's glaucoma was caused or aggravated by these conditions.
The Veteran's appeals for service connection on all issues have been denied. The Board finds no evidence of in-service incurrence or aggravation of any claimed conditions.
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development of his claims, including obtaining medical records and information from the Social Security Administration.

The Board has decided to remand the case due to the need for a medical examination to determine if any identified disability, including glaucoma, is an organic disease of the nervous system and whether it had its onset during service or is attributable to any in-service disease, event, or injury.
