Denied
The Board denied the appeal for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with major depression.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support the in-service incurrence of an acquired psychiatric disorder and there is no credible supporting evidence to corroborate the claimed in-service stressors.
