Granted
The Board granted service connection for hyperthyroidism as a secondary condition resulting from the Veteran's now service-connected atrial fibrillation.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted because the Veteran developed hyperthyroidism due to medication taken to treat his service-connected atrial fibrillation, meeting the criteria under 38 C.F.R. § 3.310(a).
