Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the evidence supporting a link between the Veteran's in-service experiences and his current PTSD diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that his PTSD is at least as likely as not related to his military service due to fear of hostile military or terrorist activity.
