Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for autoimmune hepatitis, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The appeal regarding an initial compensable evaluation for hypertension was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance that the Veteran's autoimmune hepatitis is related to exposure to tactical herbicide agents in service, and the Veteran withdrew his appeal for hypertension.
