Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and dismissed the claim for a lumbar spine disability, as the issue was effectively resolved by subsequent favorable findings.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the favorable findings in the May 2024 rating decision which awarded service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, while the lumbar spine disability claim was dismissed due to the April 2024 award of service connection that rendered the appeal moot.
