Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as depressive disorder and anxiety, has been granted. The Board found that these conditions are proximately due to or the result of service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board accorded probative weight to a private medical opinion by Dr. EL that linked the veteran's psychiatric symptoms to service-connected physical impairments.
