Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD, high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus, type 2. The Veteran's PTSD is related to a personal assault during service, and both hypertension and diabetes are related to Camp Lejeune Contaminated Water exposure.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was received to reopen the claim for service connection for PTSD, and reasonable doubt was resolved in the Veteran's favor for hypertension and diabetes mellitus, type 2.
