Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for Graves' Disease and chronic allergic conjunctivitis, secondary to Graves' Disease, but denied service connection for high cholesterol. The claim for degenerative arthritis was remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection for Graves' Disease and chronic allergic conjunctivitis was granted based on the evidence of record, while high cholesterol was denied as it is not a disability for which compensation can be awarded. The claim for degenerative arthritis was remanded for further development.
