Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for major depressive disorder with anxious distress and denied the claims for visual impairment, migraine headaches, a back disability, and a bilateral foot disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's major depressive disorder was found to be etiologically related to active military service, while the other claimed conditions were not shown to have their onset during or as a result of service.
