Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on evidence showing the condition first manifested during service and continued to the present.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD is related to an in-service incident involving being left alone at a fuel checkpoint without a radio or instructions after hearing gun fire, which is consistent with his military duties and MOS as a Construct Equipment Repairman.
