Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, finding a causal relationship based on the evidence and applying the presumption of service connection for chronic diseases that manifest within one year of separation from service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to the presence of hypertension in service and its manifestation within one year of separation, establishing a causal relationship under 38 C.F.R. § 3.307(a)(1).
