Denied
The Board denied service connection for adjustment disorder with depressed mood as the evidence did not support a finding that it began during active service or was related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner's opinion was probative and concluded that the Veteran's diagnosed adjustment disorder with depressed mood was less likely than not incurred in or caused by military service.
