The Board has remanded the cases of hepatitis C and right foot fungus for further development due to insufficient opinions from previous VA examiners.
The Veteran's Hepatitis C resulted in elevated liver function tests from November 3, 2003, through June 30, 2009. From July 1, 2010, through June 13, 2012, the Veteran experienced near-constant debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, and nausea. Since June 14, 2012, his Hepatitis C did not result in daily fatigue, malaise, and anorexia with substantial weight loss and hepatomegaly.,The Veteran is entitled to a 100 percent disability rating from July 1, 2010, through June 13, 2012. From June 14, 2012, the Veteran's Hepatitis C warrants a 40 percent rating.
The Veteran's claim for service connection for hepatitis C has been granted. The issue of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and the temporary total evaluation following a liver transplant are both remanded.
The Board denied a compensable rating for service-connected Hepatitis C, finding that the Veteran's condition is asymptomatic and not productive of intermittent or daily fatigue, malaise, anorexia, requiring dietary restriction or continuous medication, or incapacitating episodes.
