The Board has granted service connection for an anxiety disorder, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to his period of active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a link between the Veteran's current anxiety disorder and his period of service, including diagnoses of acute psychosis and anxiety neurosis in January 1976, as well as a lengthy history of psychiatric treatment for anxiety disorder and paranoid schizophrenia throughout the 1990s.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Veteran's appeal for an increased rating for major depression with psychotic features and SMC based on the need for regular aid and attendance was denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support the grant of these benefits.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of CUE in the June 1972 and March 1991 rating decisions for initial adjudication by the AOJ.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal of the July 1980 rating decision, finding that it did not commit an error in failing to adjudicate a claim for service connection for 'delayed stress reaction.' The July 1980 rating decision was found to be final and correct as applied at the time.
- Denied
The Veteran's TDIU claim is denied as his service-connected disabilities do not render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
