The Board has granted service connection for central serous choroidopathy, finding that it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and depressive disorder not otherwise specified.
The deciding factor: The July 2010 VA examiner provided an opinion that the Veteran's central serous retinopathy was at least as likely as not caused by or a result of his PTSD. The Board found this opinion, along with subsequent clarifications, to be sufficient evidence for granting service connection.
