Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include GAD, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected low back and bilateral knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted after resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran due to evidence linking his psychiatric condition to his musculoskeletal conditions.
