Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition, including chronic adjustment disorder and PTSD, as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service stressors and her current mental health conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's current psychiatric condition was less likely than not related to the identified in-service stressors, attributing it instead to marital problems.
