Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, diagnosed as other specified trauma disorder. The lower back and knee disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's current psychiatric condition and his military service, while further evidence is needed to determine the etiology of the lower back and knee conditions.
