The Board granted service connection for hypertension, coronary artery disease, asthma, transient ischemic attack, neurocognitive disorder (dementia), and acquired psychiatric disorder (other specified depressive disorder) but denied service connection for renal toxicity. Several issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's hypertension, coronary artery disease, asthma, transient ischemic attack, neurocognitive disorder, and acquired psychiatric disorder are related to his active service, while there was no current disability of renal toxicity during the appeal period.
