Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder characterized by anxiety, panic, and depression but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss. The left knee disability issue was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's current psychiatric condition and in-service symptoms, while there was no evidence of a current diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss or that it was aggravated by service.
