Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include anxiety and tremors, but granted service connection for a right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of an acquired psychiatric disability conforming to DSM-5 criteria. However, the Veteran's right knee disability was related to his service based on the medical records showing treatment for a torn MCL and ongoing symptoms post-service.
