Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD related to traumatic events during basic and AIT training is granted. The Board found that the veteran's PTSD is at least as likely as not related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on medical evidence of a PTSD diagnosis, a link between current symptomatology and in-service stressors, and credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressor actually occurred.
