Granted
The Board granted service connection for depressive disorder, finding that it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected cervical spine strain, lumbosacral strain, and neurogenic bladder.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current psychiatric disability and a nexus between the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and his depressive disorder due to distress related to his neurogenic bladder.
