Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disorder, to include generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder, as the evidence supports that these conditions began during a period of active duty for training (ADT) in June 2018.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of depression and anxiety began during his ADT in June 2018 due to higher stress levels and gastrointestinal problems related to military service, and the evidence supports that these conditions are at least as likely as not incurred in or caused by service.
