Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypothyroidism but dismissed the appeals for coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus type II.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion in September 2024 supported a relationship between the Veteran's hypothyroidism and toxic exposure to PCBs during his military service, which was conceded by VA.
