Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, not including PTSD, due to a lack of credible evidence linking the Veteran's diagnosed conditions to his active service. The claim for a low back disability was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of credible supporting evidence linking the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorders (not including PTSD) to his active service, and an inadequate VA opinion regarding the low back disability claim.
