Granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder (including insomnia, alcohol abuse, and anxiety), liver disease, and degenerative disc disease are granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claimed disorders were as likely as not related to his active-duty service in combat roles.
