Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), finding that the Veteran's psychiatric disorders had their onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The May 2012 VA examiner indicated a link between the Veteran's current symptoms of PTSD and his in-service stressor, and Dr. C. G.'s opinion supported that the Veteran's MDD had its onset during service.
