Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and a left knee disability, finding that both conditions are related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current psychiatric condition is related to his in-service stressor events, and that his left knee disability was aggravated by his service-connected right knee disability.
