Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on a verified in-service stressor.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay testimony and medical evidence supported the occurrence of an in-service stressor related to combat operations in Grenada, which was sufficient to establish service connection for PTSD.
