Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tension headaches and GERD as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected conditions, but denied service connection for right and left hip strains.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's tension headaches and GERD were caused by his service-connected anxiety and degenerative arthritis, respectively. However, there was no evidence linking the right or left hip strain to the service-connected degenerative arthritis of the knees.
