Partly granted
The VA denied service connection for the veteran's psychological disorder and gastrointestinal issues as secondary to coccidioidomycosis. The claim for direct service connection for an acquired psychological disorder was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is not service-connected for coccidioidomycosis, a threshold legal requirement for establishing secondary service connection.
