Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for high blood pressure and rhabdomyolysis, but remanded claims for swelling in feet and ankles to be further evaluated.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of the claimed conditions close in proximity to or during the pendency of the claim. For the swelling issues, an examination was needed as there were indications that it may have been related to rhabdomyolysis.
