Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and remanded the claim for heart disease, to include non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hypertension was related to her military service or that she had a chronic disability resulting from an injury or disease in service. For the heart disease, additional development is necessary to determine its etiology.
