49 vetted Board decisions in 2000
The Board has granted service connection for sarcoidosis, finding that the veteran's current diagnosis is related to his complaints and treatment in service.
The veteran's pulmonary sarcoidosis is productive of chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, and mild ventilatory impairment. The Board denied an evaluation in excess of the current 10 percent for his service-connected pulmonary sarcoidosis.
The veteran is seeking service connection for asbestosis, a condition he claims was caused by asbestos exposure during his military service. The case has been remanded to obtain additional medical records and conduct further examination.
The Board has denied an increased rating for sarcoidosis, with involvement of the lungs and hands, currently rated as 60 percent disabling.
The veteran's claim for service connection for a right shoulder disability has been reopened. The claim for service connection for sarcoidosis is not well grounded, as there is no competent evidence linking the current diagnosis to his military service. His PTSD and back disabilities are currently rated at their maximum levels.
