The Board grants service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include generalized anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements are consistent with STRs that show stomach complaints, and a VA examiner attributed the Veteran's generalized anxiety disorder to his reports of stress and trauma from training.
