Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted readjudication of the previously disallowed claim for service connection for hypertension based on new and relevant evidence, but remanded entitlement to service connection under a theory other than presumptive service connection prior to August 10, 2022.
The deciding factor: New evidence was secured by VA that warranted the readjudication of the claim for service connection of hypertension, while an alternate theory of entitlement must be explored for the period prior to the PACT Act's effective date.
