Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an other trauma and stressor-related disorder and tinnitus, but remanded the claims for a penile condition, left knee disorder, neurological disorder of the right lower extremity, and neurological disorder of the left lower extremity.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a link between the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms and his service in an area involving fear of hostile military or terrorist activity, as well as a link between his tinnitus and his in-service noise exposure. The claims for other conditions were remanded to ensure proper development.
