Granted
The Board granted service connection for ulcerative colitis, finding that it was aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's ulcerative colitis was aggravated by his service-connected PTSD; thus, secondary service connection is warranted.
