Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for an anxiety disorder, finding that it was less likely than not related to or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's anxiety was situational and not secondary to his service-connected prostate cancer, with no positive medical nexus opinion supporting the claim.
