The Board has denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD, but granted her claim for an anxiety disorder. The decision is mixed as it addresses both conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD, while there was sufficient evidence to establish a current diagnosis of an anxiety disorder and its relationship to service.
