Granted
The Board granted service connection for other specified trauma and stress related disorder, depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder with social phobia based on the evidence showing that these conditions originated during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that service connection was warranted as the record was in equipoise regarding whether the diagnosed psychiatric disabilities originated during active service, and upon resolution of all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, service connection was granted.
