Granted
The Board granted service connection for unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder, finding that the Veteran's preexisting condition was aggravated by his military service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder increased in severity during service due to in-service events including sexual harassment, assault, and behavioral issues, which exacerbated his mental health symptoms.
