Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and remanded the claims for a right knee condition, left knee condition, and low back condition.
The deciding factor: The denial was based on the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis of an acquired psychiatric disorder under the DSM-5. The remands were due to the need for further medical examination to determine the nature and etiology of the claimed knee and low back conditions.
