The Board has determined that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, depression, personality disorder, and insomnia, is related to his active duty service. As a result, service connection for these conditions is granted.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence supports the Veteran’s claim of in-service onset and continuity of symptoms, which are considered sufficient to establish service connection.
