Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of diabetes mellitus, type II, was granted. The claims for GERD and OSA were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's diabetes mellitus, type II, was caused by his service-connected hypertension, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
