Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for traction alopecia (claimed as hair loss) and denied an initial compensable disability rating for the service-connected other specified eating disorders.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a finding that the Veteran's alopecia is at least as likely as not related to her service, while an initial compensable disability rating was denied due to the absence of evidence showing incapacitating episodes in the service-connected eating disorder.
