Partly granted
Service connection for hyperhidrosis was granted as secondary to service-connected PTSD. Service connection for depression and bilateral athletes' foot was denied. Other issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor for hyperhidrosis, but found no separate diagnosis of depressive disorder and no nexus between athlete's foot and active duty service.
