Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension prior to August 10, 2022, based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's hypertension is etiologically related to his service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's hypertension is etiologically related to his service, and a presumption of service connection for hypertension under the PACT Act was not applicable.
