Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include unspecified depressive disorder with anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder, based on the Veteran's in-service experiences of mistreatment and a bank robbery.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuaded that the Veteran's current mental health symptoms are etiologically related to her in-service experiences.
