Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for alopecia and remanded the claim for a bilateral eye disability, to include dry eye syndrome and ptosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's alopecia had its onset in service. The preexisting bilateral ptosis was not aggravated by active service.
