Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for other specified depressive disorder but denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Service connection for other specified depressive disorder was supported by a medical opinion linking the condition to experiences during active service, while there was no credible evidence of a DSM-5 diagnosis of PTSD.
