Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD but granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition, to include mixed anxiety and unspecified depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD, while the private examination provided a well-reasoned opinion linking the Veteran's acquired psychiatric conditions to military service.
