Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a disability claimed as depleted uranium and remanded the claims for peripheral neuropathy, diabetes mellitus, an eye disorder, a prostate disorder, and a gastrointestinal disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current disability related to any alleged exposure to depleted uranium. For the other issues, further development was required due to potential presumptions under the PACT Act.
