Granted
The Board granted service connection for specific phobia disorder (claimed as agoraphobia) based on a current diagnosis and an in-service event related to seizures.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA opinion, supported by the Veteran's reported symptoms and service treatment records, established a nexus between the current disability and an in-service injury.
