Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder including a generalized anxiety disorder as the evidence did not support a finding that such condition was incurred in or aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA examiner's opinion, which considered the Veteran's lay claims and supported by medical reasoning, was found to be the most probative evidence against the claim.
