Granted
The Board granted service connection for an anxiety disability, finding it to be secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right knee and tinnitus disabilities.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner and non-government clinical psychologist provided more thorough opinions that the Veteran's anxiety is etiologically related to his service-connected conditions.
