Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a heart condition and remanded claims for diabetes mellitus, renal kidney failure, colitis, and high blood pressure as secondary to diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim of a current heart condition, and the Veteran's testimony was not competent to provide a diagnosis. The Board found that the claims were inextricably intertwined with the remanded claims for diabetes mellitus and its secondary conditions.
