Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, depression, and anxiety, as there was no evidence showing that these conditions began during active service or were otherwise related to an in-service event, injury, or disease.
The deciding factor: The May 2022 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's current mental health symptoms are not at least as likely as not incurred in or caused by service, and there is no other probative evidence supporting a medical nexus between his current conditions and service.
