Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and readjudicated the claim of entitlement to service connection for adjustment disorder with depressed mood, based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported in-service grenade explosion stressor was found credible, supporting his diagnosis of PTSD. New statements provided by the Veteran and his spouse were deemed relevant and warranted a readjudication of the claim for adjustment disorder with depressed mood.
