Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for sickle cell retinopathy and an acquired psychiatric disorder were granted. The claims for left leg gout and right leg gout were denied. The issues of hypertension, prostate cancer, and bilateral pes planus were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence establishing in-service events and nexus for some conditions, while lacking such evidence for others.
