Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for unexplained weight loss/weight gain and an initial compensable rating for folliculitis, but remanded the claims for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current disability related to unexplained weight loss/weight gain or a need for a compensable rating for folliculitis. The Board remanded the claims for PTSD and adjustment disorder due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
