Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, but denied service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion linking the Veteran's adjustment disorder with anxiety to his in-service stressors and duties, while the evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's tinnitus and military noise exposure.
