The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include anxiety and depression, finding the evidence is in approximate balance that these conditions are related to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record supports a causal relationship between the Veteran's current acquired psychiatric disorder and his service, particularly considering his experiences during the Gulf War.
