Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on a current diagnosis and credible supporting evidence of an in-service sexual trauma.
The deciding factor: The private clinician's opinion linking the PTSD with the in-service MST provided adequate basis to grant service connection, resolving any doubt in favor of the Veteran.
