Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability, diagnosed as major depressive disorder with anxious distress, finding that the Veteran's symptoms began during his active duty and have continued since then.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a causal relationship between the Veteran's current psychiatric disability and events or injuries incurred during military service, including documented diagnoses of depression in service records and a private opinion linking the condition to service.
