Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hyperlipidemia as it is not a disability for VA purposes. The other claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Hyperlipidemia was found to be a laboratory finding and not a disability under VA regulations, while the other conditions required additional evidence through new medical opinions.
