Granted
The Board grants service connection for PTSD based on a credible in-service stressor and a diagnosis by the Veteran's treating psychiatrist.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise that the Veteran suffers from PTSD as a result of a traumatic event that occurred during his active service, and the treating psychiatrist provided a diagnosis consistent with this claim.
