Partly granted
The Board granted the reopening of claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation but remanded all issues for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted since the previous denials raises a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims, meeting the low threshold necessary for reopening. For the hysterectomy claim, no specific disposition was given as it was also reopened but not addressed in the decision.
