The Board denied service connection for hypertension and remanded the claim for diabetes mellitus, type II under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's hypertension is related to his military service or any service-connected disability, nor is it proximately due to or aggravated by his sleep apnea with asthma. The claim for diabetes mellitus, type II under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 was remanded for proper adjudication.
