Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD, GAD, and MDD due to MST based on a positive nexus opinion from a private medical provider.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including a July 2020 private medical opinion, sufficiently corroborated the Veteran's in-service MST and linked her current diagnoses of PTSD, GAD, and MDD to that experience.
