Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, finding it was at least as likely as not incurred in service. The other claims were remanded due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence supports finding that the Veteran's hypertension was incurred during his active service, and service connection is granted based on the places, types, and circumstances of his service as shown by his service records, medical records, and all pertinent medical and lay evidence.
