Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bipolar I disorder and remanded the claims for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus type II, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral neuropathy as secondary to the service-connected bipolar I disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's bipolar disorder was found to have been aggravated beyond its natural progression by her active duty military service.
