Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for unspecified anxiety disorder was granted. The claim for a compensable initial rating for hypothyroidism was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reports of psychiatric symptoms beginning immediately after service and continuing since service satisfied the 'in-service incurrence' and 'nexus' requirements.
