Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to the Veteran's deployment to Iraq.
The deciding factor: The October 2022 VA examiner and March 2022 private examiner found that the Veteran's claimed stressors were adequate to support a diagnosis of PTSD, and the Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
