Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for hypertension and hyperlipidemia were denied due to lack of new and relevant evidence. The claim for heart disability was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA did not obtain adequate medical opinions to support their decisions, warranting a remand for corrective action.
