Granted
The Board granted service connection for essential tremor, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that her essential tremor is etiologically related to service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on evidence of onset within the presumptive period and continuity of symptomatology, as well as a March 2002 record from the Veteran's private neurologist establishing that the tremors began either during service or within one year following her October 2000 separation from service.
