Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, mild renal insufficiency as secondary to hypertension, residuals of right inguinal hernia repair, and a gastrointestinal disorder including GERD and peptic ulcer. The claims for colitis, neck disability, right shoulder disability, and left shoulder disability were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for hypertension based on aggravation during service, while mild renal insufficiency was found to be secondary to hypertension. Other conditions were not supported by sufficient evidence.
