Partly granted
The Board denied compensable evaluations for hypertension and GERD but remanded the claim for service connection of non-alcoholic steatosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against a compensable rating for hypertension and GERD, while further clarification is needed for non-alcoholic steatosis.
