Granted
The Board granted service connection for cerebrovascular accident (CVA) residuals, finding that the Veteran's CVA is related to her service-connected hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that both the Veteran's hypertension and diabetes are potential causes of the Veteran's CVA, placing the evidence in equipoise as to the nexus issue.
