Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus type II and an initial 10 percent rating, but no higher, for hypertension. The remaining claims for service connection were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a grant of service connection for diabetes mellitus type II based on herbicide exposure, while the other claims lacked sufficient evidence to establish a link between the claimed conditions and active service.
