Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for loss of smell and taste was granted. The claim for depression as secondary to the loss of smell and taste was remanded.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence supported the grant of service connection for loss of smell and taste, while the claim for depression required further adjudication.
