Partly granted
The Veteran's dry eye syndrome is granted service connection due to an in-service injury. Several other claims for service connection are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board finds a nexus between the Veteran's current dry eye syndrome and his in-service eye injury, while the remaining claims require further evidence or examination.
