Granted
The Board granted service connection for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, claimed as PTSD, based on credible evidence of an in-service personal assault and a medical opinion linking the current disability to military service.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner's opinion established a nexus between the Veteran's other specified trauma and stressor related disorder and his in-service personal assault, meeting the criteria for direct service connection.
