Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder with alcohol use disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examiner concluded that the two traumatic incidents the Veteran recounted were the likely source of his PTSD, and the Veteran's ex-wife provided sufficient corroboration under the circumstances.
