Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for unspecified anxiety disorder as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hip disability, but remanded claims for a right knee and ankle condition.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion provided evidence of a link between the Veteran's diagnosed unspecified anxiety disorder and his service-connected hip disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
