Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for peripheral neuropathy in both upper extremities secondary to diabetes and PTSD were granted. The claim for a higher disability rating for CVA residuals was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's peripheral neuropathies are etiologically related to his service-connected diabetes and that his PTSD is related to his active duty service.
