Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, diabetes mellitus type II, a renal disability, left ventricular hypertrophy, and right lower extremity paralysis, as well as an earlier effective date of March 15, 2018. Special monthly compensation at the aid and attendance rate was also granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's conditions were more likely than not caused by his service-connected disabilities or manifested within a presumptive period following separation from service with continuity of symptomatology.
