Granted
The Board granted service connection for type 2 diabetes, finding that it was related to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension and sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The internist concluded that the Veteran's underlying chronic sinusitis played a role in his developing type 2 diabetes, making it a 'but-for' cause of the condition.
