Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of service connection for bilateral retinitis pigmentosa but denied the claim based on a lack of evidence linking the condition to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The new and relevant evidence submitted did not establish a nexus between the Veteran's current bilateral RP disability and his service, including exposure to bright light from working with radar screens.
