Granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, finding that it is proximately due to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The probative weight of G.U.'s opinion outweighed the VA opinions, as she found that the Veteran's obesity was a result of his service-connected PTSD, which led to his diabetes mellitus, type II.
