Denied
The Board denied service connection for hyperlipidemia, stating that it is a laboratory finding and not a disability for which VA compensation benefits are payable.
The deciding factor: Hyperlipidemia was found to be a laboratory result without functional impairment, thus not meeting the criteria for a disability under VA law.
