Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected bipolar disorder is granted a higher initial rating of 100 percent, while other claims for service connection were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claims for service connection due to lack of in-service onset or continuity of symptoms, and the Veteran's condition was not shown to be related to his military service.
