Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for cold spells and an eye disability (glaucoma suspect and pigment dispersion) related to the Veteran's service, but denied a compensable rating for malaria.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran had cold spells and an eye disability secondary to his diabetes mellitus, type II, and the Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the claimant. However, there was no evidence supporting a higher rating for malaria.
