Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD with unspecified anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorder, but denied service connection for neck disability, back disability, right knee disability, left knee disability, sinusitis, and IBS.
The deciding factor: PTSD was granted based on a credible in-service stressor. Other conditions were denied due to lack of evidence showing current disabilities or nexus to service.
