Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the evidence showing a credible in-service stressor and a current diagnosis of PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's PTSD is causally related to his active-duty service, and reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
