Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a bladder disability but denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and a depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim of a bladder disability having its clinical onset during active service. However, there was insufficient corroborating evidence of an in-service stressor to support the claim of service connection for PTSD or any other acquired psychiatric disorder.
