Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD, but denied service connection for a disability of the arms, hypertension, CTS of the left hand, bursitis of the right hip, and a left elbow disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a diagnosis of PTSD related to in-service sexual assault, while there was no current disability or evidence supporting service connection for the other conditions.
