Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date and a higher disability rating for psychotic mood disorder was granted. The claim for service connection for tinnitus was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's character of discharge was not a bar to VA benefits, warranting an earlier effective date.
