Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, GERD, and allergic rhinitis with effective dates of April 13, 2023, but denied service connection for hypercholesterolemia. It also granted a 10 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran had developed these conditions after his service and there was no current disability of hypercholesterolemia.
