Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder other than PTSD, to include major depressive disorder, as the evidence did not support a nexus between the Veteran's current diagnoses and his period of military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no credible evidence linking the Veteran's current acquired psychiatric diagnoses to his service due to the lack of in-service symptoms and the absence of medical evidence establishing such a connection.
