Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension as secondary to the service-connected Type II diabetes mellitus but denied service connection for right knee arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a grant of service connection for hypertension as it was associated with the Veteran's service-connected diabetes, while there was no persuasive evidence linking the right knee arthritis to military service or any in-service injury.
