Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for unspecified depressive disorder and PTSD with insomnia, while remanding claims for erectile dysfunction and knee conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not new and relevant to support readjudication of the claim for unspecified depressive disorder. The medical evidence did not establish a current diagnosis of PTSD that conforms with DSM-5 criteria.
