Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for non-erosive gastropathy and tension headaches, both secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hepatitis C. An earlier effective date than November 6, 2006, was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a causal relationship between the service-connected hepatitis C and the current disabilities of non-erosive gastropathy and tension headaches, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
