Granted
The Veteran's service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's psychiatric condition is related to his service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence reveals functional impairment and treatment for a psychiatric condition in service, including medication, and the Veteran's competent lay statements are credible and probative evidence that weighs in favor of the claim.
