Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hepatitis C and cirrhosis of the liver, but remanded the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder to allow for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current conditions were related to in-service exposure to a contaminated air gun jet injector vaccination, while new evidence was found regarding his mental health issues.
