The Board has granted service connection for tremors, finding that the Veteran's current tremor disorders are related to his military service and/or his service-connected psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the continuity of symptomatology from prior statements and positive medical nexus opinions provided a plausible basis to conclude that the Veteran's tremors are related to his military service and/or his service-connected psychiatric disorder, resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
