The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, anxiety, and depression, based on the evidence showing a link between the Veteran's symptoms and his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively favors the conclusion that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is related to his service in the Republic of Vietnam.
