Partly granted
The Board dismissed claims for service connection for PTSD and special monthly compensation due to loss of a creative organ, denied increased ratings for several disabilities, and granted service connection for somatic symptom disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence not supporting higher ratings or additional service-connected conditions beyond those granted.
