Granted
The Board granted service connection for treatment purposes only under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17 for an acquired psychiatric disorder characterized by a trauma disorder with depression, based on a medical nexus between the Veteran's in-service incurrence and current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record established a current diagnosis, an in-service incurrence, and a medical nexus between the two, which is sufficient to grant service connection on a direct basis for treatment purposes only.
