Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a link between these conditions and his military service or any service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish an onset of the psychiatric disorders in service or a relationship to service or service-connected disabilities due to its speculative nature and lack of supporting evidence.
