Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include fear of flying anxiety, as there was no evidence of a nexus between the Veteran's current anxiety disorder and his active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively establish a link between the Veteran's current anxiety disorder and any in-service event or injury.
