Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder as the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current condition was related to his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The September 2022 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's generalized anxiety disorder was less likely than not incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service injury, event, or illness due to the lack of evidence for ongoing symptoms or treatment following his diagnosis in 2002.
