Granted
The Board granted service connection for restless leg syndrome, finding that the evidence is in equipoise as to its etiological relationship with the Veteran's military service and his service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The private opinion from Dr. M.R., which cited comprehensive medical literature and studies correlating RLS and hypertension, was found to be dispositive of the claim.
