Granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus type II as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected unspecified depressive disorder with anxious distress.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that it is at least as likely as not that the diabetes condition is secondary to the service-connected unspecified depressive disorder with anxious distress, with obesity as an intermediary step.
