Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include bipolar disorder, alcohol use disorder, and depression.
The deciding factor: There is at least an approximate balance of evidence as to whether the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorders were incurred during or are otherwise related to his period of active service. Resolving all doubt in the Veteran's favor, the claim for service connection was granted.
