Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, diagnosed as PTSD, and residuals of an in-service hepatitis C infection.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence is at least in approximate equipoise regarding the Veteran's in-service stressor events that caused PTSD and whether his current hepatitis C infection was incurred during active duty.
