Partly grantedPACT Act
The veteran's service connection for hypertension, diabetes mellitus type II, and several types of peripheral neuropathy was granted. Service connection for kidney disease, anemia, and monoclonal gammopathy was also granted. However, the issues regarding congestive heart failure and body fluid retention were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a causal relationship between the veteran's service and the claimed conditions, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the veteran.
