Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, based on the Veteran's combat-related stressors during his service aboard the USS Newport News.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's PTSD is related to his military service, and the Board finds that the approximate balance of the evidence is for the claim.
