Granted
The Board grants service connection for major depressive disorder, finding that the Veteran's current depression is related to his experiences in service.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there has been substantial compliance with the remand directives and resolves reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran based on the competent medical and lay evidence supporting a link between the Veteran's current depression and his service.
