Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability and right Achilles tendon disability, effective the day after the Veteran's discharge from service. The claim for a heart disability was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the presence of the claimed disabilities during active service, while there was no persuasive evidence supporting a current heart disability or other conditions on appeal.
