Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and peripheral neuropathy of the right and left lower extremities as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus type II.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran, establishing a nexus between his service-connected DM II and the claimed conditions.
