Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and a back disability, but dismissed the appeal for PTSD as it was moot due to an earlier grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claims for hypertension and a back disability based on in-service onset and continuity of symptoms. The claim for PTSD was dismissed because the benefit sought had already been granted by the AOJ.
