Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for hyperlipidemia was denied. The claims for higher ratings for hypertension, unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder, essential tremors, and service connection for obstructive sleep apnea were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that hyperlipidemia is not a disability for VA purposes; other claims were remanded due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
