Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The July 2022 and March 2023 VA medical examiners' opinions were found inadequate, while a January 2023 opinion from physician C.M.B., PA-C, MPLC was given significant probative weight due to its specific analysis of the Veteran's case.
