Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, variously diagnosed as unspecified depressive disorder and major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran has a current acquired psychiatric disorder that is related to service, and reasonable doubt is resolved in favor of the Veteran.
