Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hyperlipidemia, but remanded the claims for an eye disorder and left ear pain due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The claim for hyperlipidemia was denied as it is not a disability resulting in functional impairment. The claims for eye disorder and left ear pain were remanded for further development of evidence.
