Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for pseudofolliculitis barbae was granted, while his claims for hypertension and an evaluation in excess of 10 percent disabling for a right knee meniscal tear were denied.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence supported the direct link between the Veteran's pseudofolliculitis barbae and his active-duty service, but did not support a similar connection for his hypertension or the severity of his right knee condition.
