The Board has granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder (chronic depressive disorder) and a back disorder, but denied service connection for the veteran's anxiety reaction and organic mood disorder with psychotic features. The right leg shell fragment wound residuals are currently evaluated as 10 percent disabling.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established for the veteran's chronic depressive disorder based on its relationship to his service-connected right leg shell fragment wound residuals, but not for his anxiety reaction or organic mood disorder with psychotic features due to lack of evidence linking these conditions to service or a service-connected disability.
