Partly granted
The appeal regarding service connection for headaches was dismissed as moot, while the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include bipolar disorder, was granted and remanded.
The deciding factor: New evidence suggesting a possible link between the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms and his military service was found credible and relevant, warranting readjudication of the claim.
