The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of divorce records from Florida, where the Veteran lived at the time he remarried. The Appellant must provide any available divorce records or face further proceedings.

The Board found that the reduction in compensation benefits due to incarceration for a felony was improper as the Veteran had not been convicted of a felony, and thus restoration of compensation payments is granted.

The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient reasons and bases for granting survivor's pension benefits from April 16, 2018 to May 1, 2019. The Court found that it is not clear whether the appellant has unreimbursed medical expenses that should be deducted from her countable income.

The appeal was dismissed due to the appellant's death, and no jurisdiction remains for further action.

The Board has remanded the case due to unresolved issues, including service connection for additional disabilities and increased ratings. The Veteran's left metatarsal disability is currently rated at 20 percent since April 15, 2014, but the evidence does not support a higher rating.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's gynecological disorder, including hysterectomy and infertility, and her service at Camp Lejeune. The VA is instructed to obtain a medical opinion on whether these conditions are related to exposure to contaminated water during her service.

The Veteran requested to withdraw his appeal for a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU) before the Board made a decision. The Board dismissed the appeal as a result.

The Veteran's appeal was dismissed due to his death, and the Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of this case.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for right eye vision loss, finding that it did not have its onset in service and was not caused or aggravated by his service-connected conditions (CAD and stroke).

The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for bowel obstruction is remanded due to the need for an in-person examination to assess the current severity of his disability.
