Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD, GAD with panic attacks, and alcohol use disorder was granted. The claims for asthma, GERD, right knee degenerative arthritis, and eczema were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is due to corroborated personal assault incurred during a period of active service.
