Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, peripheral neuropathy of the left and right lower extremities (secondary to hypertension), but denied service connection for Crohn's Disease.
The deciding factor: The grant was based on presumptive service connection for hypertension under the PACT Act, while the denial was due to a lack of evidence linking Crohn's Disease to service.
