Granted
The Board granted service connection for a chest pain disability, a lower back disability, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported symptoms of continuous chest pain, low back pain, and PTSD were found to be consistent with her in-service experiences and have persisted since service. The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
