Granted
The Board granted service connection for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder based on a positive nexus to in-service psychological events and symptoms.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed in-service psychological symptoms and events, and the acquired psychiatric disorders of GAD and MDD were etiologically related to those events. The OCPD was considered aggravated by service due to superimposed psychological 'injury'.
