Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include unspecified depressive disorder, but denied service connection for chronic kidney disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's in-service stressor and her current psychiatric condition, while there was no evidence of a chronic kidney disease diagnosis during or after active duty.
