Granted
The Board found clear and unmistakable error in the June 2017 rating decision that denied service connection for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, due to a failure to properly consider the positive nexus opinion provided by the February 2017 VA examiner.
The deciding factor: The error was undebatable and manifestly changed the outcome of the June 2017 rating decision as it failed to acknowledge and consider the positive nexus opinion between the Veteran's current diagnosis and his service in Vietnam.
