Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD related to in-service military sexual trauma (MST).
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's PTSD is due to his service, and credible supporting evidence corroborates the Veteran's account of the stressor incident.
