Denied
The Board denied service connection for hyperlipidemia as it is not considered a disability under VA law. The claim for hypertension was remanded due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hyperlipidemia does not qualify as a disability for which VA can award benefits, and the evidence did not establish a link between his service and the onset of hypertension.
