Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disorder (diagnosed as adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood) based on the evidence showing an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding its link to an in-service stressor incident.
The deciding factor: There is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence, and the Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran's claim, finding a nexus between her current psychiatric disorder and the conceded in-service stressor incident.
