Denied
The Board denied service connection for major depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and enteroviral vesicular stomatitis with exanthem (claimed as chronic rash) because the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, which considered the claimant's lay statements and relevant medical history, concluded that there was no nexus between the claimed conditions and the veteran's period of active duty for training.
