Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and an unspecified anxiety disorder, but denied readjudication of service connection for temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) and service connection for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the current diagnoses of PTSD and an unspecified anxiety disorder related to in-service stressors, while there was no evidence of a current disability of hypertension. The TMJ claim was denied due to lack of relevant new evidence.
