Granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, finding that the evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether it is etiologically related to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed a causal relationship between the Veteran's diabetes and his service-connected disabilities, specifically through obesity which served as an intermediate step.
