Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a cyst, left foot condition, right foot condition, left knee condition, right knee condition, and left ankle condition. The issues of an increased rating for PTSD and TDIU were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's conditions first manifested during active-duty service or their severity increased due to in-service aggravation.
