Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), based on the evidence of a current disability and credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressor occurred.
The deciding factor: The probative private medical opinion of Dr. A. B. establishing the diagnosis of PTSD and nexus between the Veteran's current PTSD and his in-service traumatic stressors, coupled with the Veteran's lay statements regarding symptoms and onset, provided a sufficient basis to grant service connection for PTSD.
