Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including unspecified depressive disorder, panic disorder and cannabis use disorder, but denied service connection for TBI residuals.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a traumatic brain injury in service or any related residuals. However, the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder was found to be etiologically related to his service.
