Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, unspecified depression, and PTSD. The skin disorder claim was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's diagnosed psychiatric disorders are related to service, while the VA examiner's opinion regarding the skin disorder was found inadequate due to insufficient consideration of relevant factors.
