Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, including major depressive disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD and insomnia, as there was no medical evidence linking these conditions to his service or any in-service event.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no medical evidence of a link between the current symptomatology and service, particularly given the lack of psychiatric complaints during service and for decades following discharge.
