Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for visual impairment but remanded the claims for acquired psychiatric disabilities and migraines due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a lack of credible evidence supporting the existence of current visual impairment, while the other issues required further medical examination.
