Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder, finding that it was caused by military service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's posttraumatic stress disorder was confirmed by VA examination and a treating clinician's opinion, and the in-service stressor of seeing a dead body while serving in Venice, Louisiana, was corroborated.
