Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding that it was aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected bilateral shoulder disability. The claim for obesity was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported aggravation of the acquired psychiatric disorder due to the service-connected shoulder condition, but not a direct or secondary relationship with obesity.
