Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and eating disorder, but denied service connection for right hand arthritis, left hand arthritis, nerve damage in the neck, nerve damage in the right shoulder, nerve damage in the left shoulder, bronchitis, a gynecological disability, and non-compensable ratings for allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD and eating disorder were related to an in-service stressor, while other conditions did not meet the criteria for service connection due to lack of current disability or insufficient evidence linking them to service.
