Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sarcoidosis, which manifested to a compensable degree within one year of the Veteran's separation from service. The claims for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's sarcoidosis manifested to a compensable degree within one year of her separation from service, meeting the criteria for presumptive service connection.
