The Board granted service connection for a thyroid disorder, finding that the Veteran's thyroid disorder was at least as likely as not incurred in service. The claim for weight gain was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the Veteran's thyroid disorder and her service, while the weight gain claim required further development.
