Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding the evidence of record during the relevant period weighs persuasively against a finding that the Veteran has an acquired psychiatric disorder related to her active service.
The deciding factor: The private mental health examination report and VA examination did not provide sufficient evidence linking the Veteran's claimed psychiatric disorders to her military service due to inconsistencies in reported symptoms and medical records, and the lack of any relevant treatment during service.
