Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include anxiety disorder, but denied service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion related the Veteran's current psychiatric symptoms to his in-service event, while the lack of evidence supporting a continuity of symptomatology and the recent onset of tinnitus led to its denial.
