Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for decreased memory due to the absence of a current disability, while remanding claims for non-alcoholic fatty liver with cirrhosis, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of competent evidence supporting a current diagnosis of decreased memory. For other conditions, there were pre-decisional duty to assist errors that required additional medical opinions.
