Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include anxiety and depression, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance that it is related to an in-service event.
The deciding factor: The appellant's acquired psychiatric disorder was found to be etiologically related to the removal of her daughter from her custody during active service, despite conflicting opinions on this point.
