Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and denied a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD was found to be related to an in-service stressor event, while his pseudofolliculitis barbae did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating.
