Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and bilateral heel spurs, but denied increased ratings for carpal tunnel release scars and remanded claims for increased ratings of various conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing current disabilities, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and a link between the claimed in-service disease or injury and the present disability, with the exception of the denied claims where there was no sufficient evidence to support an increase in rating.
