Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, was granted due to the aggravation of a pre-existing condition by active duty service. However, other claims for various disabilities were denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder was granted based on the aggravation of a pre-existing condition, while other claims were denied due to lack of evidence linking them to service or a presumption of service connection.
