Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for eosinophilic esophagitis and an acquired psychiatric disability, including alcohol use disorder, depressive disorder, and anxiety. The claims for a low back disability, left shoulder disability, left hip disability, right hip disability, and TBI residuals were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence was in approximate balance to support service connection for eosinophilic esophagitis and an acquired psychiatric disability, but remanded the other claims due to missing service treatment records.
