Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, diagnosed bipolar II, moderate and denied service connection for a left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding the Veteran's claimed psychiatric disorder, but there was no persuasive evidence of a current left knee condition or functional impairment due to it during the appeal period.
