Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for ADHD, finding that it clearly and unmistakably preexisted the Veteran's service but was aggravated by military service. The claim for bipolar disorder was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: ADHD was found to be clearly and unmistakably aggravated beyond its natural progression by service; however, a new medical opinion is needed regarding the Veteran's bipolar disorder due to an inadequate nexus opinion.
