Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding a causal relationship between the Veteran's symptoms and his military service.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the evidence shows that his acquired psychiatric disorder is at least as likely as not related to his military service, specifically his deployment in November 2005.
