Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include OCD and GAD, based on the evidence supporting a nexus between the Veteran's symptoms during active duty and his current condition.
The deciding factor: The weight of the persuasive evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current acquired psychiatric disorder was incurred in or caused by his active duty service.
