Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and right knee meniscal tear and medial collateral ligament tear with degenerative arthritis, but remanded the claims for a headache disorder and sleep apnea (OSA) due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on continuity of symptomatology for hypertension and evidence linking the right knee disability to service injuries. The other claims were remanded for further development.
