Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and diabetes on a secondary basis, but remanded the claim for blurred vision due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on competent medical opinions linking the Veteran's conditions to his active-duty service, including exposure to chemical hazards.
