Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with anxiety and depression, due to a lack of credible evidence supporting the Veteran's reported in-service stressors.
The deciding factor: The claimed in-service stressors were unrelated to fear of hostile military or terrorist activity and not independently corroborated. The Board found no credible evidence linking the Veteran's current psychiatric disorder to his service.
