Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and MDD, and tinnitus but dismissed the claim for treatment purposes only under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of subthreshold PTSD and MDD were found to be related to in-service MST, and his tinnitus was determined to have onset during active service.
