Granted
The Board granted service connection for neurocognitive disorder, to include vascular dementia, on a secondary basis due to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's neurocognitive disorder is related to his service-connected hypertension and diabetes mellitus, thus resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
