Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension but denied it for a vision-related disability (glaucoma).
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for hypertension due to in-service treatment and an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence. However, there was no nexus found between the Veteran's glaucoma and his active service.
