Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for memory loss and an additional heart disability, specifically arrhythmia, as secondary to the Veteran's already service-connected PTSD and heart disease respectively. The claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The record supports a finding that the Veteran's memory loss is secondary to his service-connected PTSD and an additional heart disability, specifically arrhythmia, is secondary to his already service-connected heart disease.
