Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for pseudofolliculitis barbae and remanded the claims for generalized anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of pseudofolliculitis barbae. The psychiatric claims were remanded due to missing records and an inadequate private nexus letter.
