Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include anxiety and/or flying anxiety, finding that the Veteran's symptoms are directly related to his active-duty military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a positive nexus between the Veteran's in-service work in confined engine rooms and his current anxiety and/or flying anxiety based on a private clinical psychologist's opinion.
