Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include other specified trauma and stressor related disorder and persistent depressive disorder. The claims for sleep apnea, dizziness, and a thyroid issue were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's current psychiatric conditions were incurred in or caused by service, while further medical opinions are needed for the other issues due to incomplete toxic risk exposure information.
