The Board has granted service connection for adipsia, finding that the Veteran's current condition is due to an undiagnosed illness and had its initial manifestations in service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's adipsia was due to an undiagnosed illness based on a review of his history, physical examination, and claims file, including service treatment records.
