Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include persistent depressive disorder, unspecified persistent mood disorder, and unspecified anxiety disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is at least as likely as not related to his service based on medical evidence and statements from the Veteran.
