Granted
The Board granted service connection for Parkinson's Disease as secondary to the veteran's service-connected depressive disorder. The decision was based on evidence that medication prescribed for the depressive disorder aggravated the Parkinson's Disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's Parkinson's Disease was aggravated beyond its natural progression by his service-connected condition, specifically the medication prescribed for his depressive disorder.
