Granted
The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, finding that his service-connected PTSD and coronary artery disease contributed to his death.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's death was causally related to his service-connected disabilities, leading the Board to resolve all doubt in favor of the appellant.
