The Board has granted service connection for post traumatic stress disorder and bilateral foot calluses, finding that the veteran's current conditions are related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a grant of service connection as there is credible supporting evidence of the occurrence of the claimed in-service stressors and continuity of symptomatology.
