Denied
The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood as the evidence did not show a link between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's currently diagnosed disabilities manifested to a compensable degree within one year of separation from active service or are etiologically related to active service.
