Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as MDD with anxious distress and psychotic features, based on the evidence showing a current disability, in-service incurrence, and a causal relationship between the current disability and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively favored a finding that the Veteran's MDD with anxious distress and psychotic features is attributable to his active service due to the reported in-service events and the positive nexus opinion from Dr. R.W.
