Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), finding that the Veteran's reported in-service incidents were consistent with his military duties and resulted in current diagnoses of PTSD and GAD.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible evidence supporting the Veteran's claimed in-service stressors, which led to a diagnosis of PTSD and GAD conforming to DSM-V criteria.
