Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The issue of entitlement to service connection for treatment purposes only under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17 for PTSD was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressor occurred and a current diagnosis of PTSD related to military service, granting service connection on a direct basis.
