The Board granted service connection for schizophrenia with anxiety, depression, and mood swings based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's condition was incurred during his active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the preponderance of the evidence supports a finding that the Veteran's schizophrenia with anxiety, depression, and mood swings is related to his military service due to the medical opinion from Dr. J.S., who opined that the symptoms manifested while the Veteran was on active duty.
