Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as other specified trauma and stressor related disorder (OSTSRD), based on a nexus to the Veteran's in-service experiences.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA medical opinion established a nexus between the post-service diagnosis of OSTSRD and the Veteran's reported in-service traumas, meeting the direct service connection criteria.
