Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 8, 2018, for the grant of service connection for hypothyroidism associated with hyperthyroidism but dismissed the claim for an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for hyperthyroidism.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's hypothyroidism was secondary to his service-connected hyperthyroidism, and it is first factually ascertainable as of March 8, 2018.
