Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, but remanded the claims for bilateral flatfoot, a lumbar spine disorder, and GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is related to his in-service stressors from his service in Southwest Asia during the Persian Gulf War.
