Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetic peripheral neuropathy as it is etiologically linked to the Veteran's service-connected diabetes. Other claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a relationship between the Veteran's diabetic peripheral neuropathy and his service-connected diabetes, while other claims require additional medical evidence or examination.
