Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, due to military sexual trauma (MST) based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including a private opinion from Dr. A.H., persuaded the Board that the Veteran's current acquired psychiatric disorder is causally related to MST experienced during service.
