Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability, to include anxiety disorder, depression, and insomnia, but denied service connection for PTSD. An earlier effective date of March 19, 2021, was granted for the award of service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's psychiatric disability began during active service and has continued since service separation, leading to a grant of service connection. The lack of a current diagnosis of PTSD led to its denial.
