Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of the claim for service connection for PTSD, denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition claimed as PTSD, dismissed the claim for chronic sinusitis, and denied increased ratings for various scars and conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD was granted due to new and relevant evidence being presented. The other claims were denied based on a lack of sufficient evidence linking them to service or establishing current disabilities related to service.
