Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected insomnia but remanded the claim for diabetes mellitus type 2.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence weighed in nearly approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's hypertension is due to his service-connected insomnia, with one opinion supporting and another not explicitly addressing an intermediary step of obesity.
