Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, but denied service connection for prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a nexus between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his active-duty service, while it supported a nexus between his psychiatric condition and his in-service traumatic events.
