Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the Veteran's fear of hostile military or terrorist activity during their service in Afghanistan and Kuwait.
The deciding factor: The claimed stressor is related to the Veteran's fear of hostile military or terrorist activity, which supports a diagnosis of PTSD, and there is a nexus between the current disability and the in-service stressor.
