Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability, to include unspecified trauma and other stressor related disorder, based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's psychiatric disability began in service and has continued to the present day.
The deciding factor: Service connection is warranted as there is a current disability, an in-service incurrence of anxiety symptoms following deployment, and a continuity of symptomatology since service.
