Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for anxiety disorder was granted. The claim for a left ankle disorder was remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in the Veteran's favor by finding the examiner's reasoning, in conjunction with the service treatment records and the Veteran's April 2023 statement, satisfies the third prong of a direct service connection claim for anxiety disorder.
