Granted
The Board granted service connection for depression, finding the evidence to be at least in approximate balance as to whether it had its onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by the March 2025 examiner was found to be the most probative and supported a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate, with a nexus to the Veteran's active service trauma.
