Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, finding that the veteran's condition had its onset during a period of INACDUTRA and did not result from an injury incurred during this time.
The deciding factor: Service connection cannot be awarded as there was no specific injury related to the Veteran's current psychiatric disability during her period of INACDUTRA, and general demanding working conditions do not constitute an 'injury' under applicable regulations.
