Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD related to the Veteran's in-service stressors, including his friend being killed in Vietnam and performing funeral duties.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively favors the conclusion that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's PTSD is related to his claimed in-service stressors.
