Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a headache condition as secondary to hypertension and denied service connection for tenosynovitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's headaches are caused by his service-connected hypertension, but there is no current diagnosis of tenosynovitis or constricted tendons in the right hand.
