Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and unspecified bipolar and related disorder based on credible evidence of in-service stressors and continuous symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and unspecified bipolar and related disorder began during active service. With reasonable doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran, the criteria for service connection have been met.
