Granted
The Board granted service connection for obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, both as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's PTSD and his weight gain, which in turn contributed to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
