Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the award of service connection for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder and tinnitus, but denied service connection for diabetes and other conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's continuous pursuit of claims and timely filing within one year of intent to file supported the earlier effective dates. The lack of evidence supporting a diagnosis of diabetes led to its denial.
