11 vetted Board decisions in 2015
The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current skin disability and therefore, service connection for a skin disorder is denied.
The Board is requesting additional personnel records and an audit to determine if the Veteran was entitled to a housing allowance during periods of active duty, which could affect the validity of his overpayment claim.
The Veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits rate in excess of 40 percent under the post-9/11 GI Bill was denied as he did not meet the criteria for a percentage amount in excess of 40 percent based on length of qualifying service after September 10, 2001. His National Guard discharge due to physical disqualification does not satisfy the requirements for Chapter 33 benefits at the 100 percent rate based on a discharge due to service-connected disability.
The Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for bilateral corns and calluses of the feet is being remanded due to outstanding VA treatment records and a need for another adequate VA examination.
