Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertensive heart disease as secondary to hypertension, but remanded the claims for skin condition, heart condition other than hypertensive heart disease, and bladder condition.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's hypertensive heart disease was caused by his service-connected hypertension.
