The Board granted the veteran's petition to reopen a final disallowed claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder based on new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was received that related to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim, raising a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim.
