25 vetted Board decisions in 2004
The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the claim of service connection for a neurological condition, including multiple sclerosis and a demyelinating disorder.
The veteran's appeal of the issue regarding his child born with spina bifida is dismissed. The Board received notification from the veteran that he wishes to withdraw his appeal for service connection for multiple sclerosis, also claimed as due to herbicide exposure.
The Board is remanding the case to gather additional information about C-, the veteran's daughter, including her education and employment history, as well as any relevant medical records. The goal is to determine if she qualifies as a 'helpless child' based on permanent incapacity for self-support prior to reaching age 18.
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for multiple sclerosis and peripheral neuropathy, both claimed as due to exposure to herbicides in Vietnam.
