Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, not including PTSD, but denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a right knee disability, and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current psychiatric disorder was due to his in-service stressor, while the other conditions were not shown to be related to service or any service-connected condition.
