Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and remanded the remaining claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements were found competent, corroborated by his DD-214, and supported by a private medical opinion that linked PTSD to in-service events consistent with the circumstances of his service.
