Partly granted
The appeal for hypertension was dismissed because it was already granted. Service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD), right ankle disability, left hip disability, and right hip disability were granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's CAD, right ankle disability, left hip disability, and right hip disability are secondary to his service-connected PTSD and right foot disability.
