Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability, finding that it was at least as likely as not incurred in service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's competent and credible lay statements, along with the positive opinion from a VA examiner, established a nexus between the in-service incurrence of anxiety symptoms and the current diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder.
