Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for hyperlipidemia (claimed as high cholesterol) because it is not considered a disability for which VA compensation is payable.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show functional impairment of earning capacity attributable to the Veteran's high cholesterol, and there is no competent evidence that the hyperlipidemia is associated with an underlying pathologic process.
